google drive as posix interface on linux

jpeng

Maybe this is an old question. I have some cheap VM which have little disk. But I have a unlimited gsuite account ($12/month). Is there any linux client which can make gdrive usable as Posix interface? Thus I can expand VM disk space with gdrive.

Thanks for helps.

rclone is probably the closest you will get

try it https://github.com/gdrive-org/gdrive

rcxb

A quick search turned up google-drive-ocamlfuse, dsoprea/GDriveFS, and gcs-fuse.

why plexdrive doesn't support writes? I want to backup the files to gdrive via a posix interface. thanks.

Thats just by design. In a way it's not bad. You cannot accidentally delete a file in Plex if you mount it over plexdrive.

If you need writes the best option is rclone. Follow this guide to setup rclone.
