GoogleDrive2NAS

Let Google Drive become a NAS while NAS is not network attached storage but nfs+afp+smb.

Installation

The platform supported:

Ubuntu 14.04-18.04
docker(Not yet Finished)

System requirements

A fresh installed system is suggested.
Root privilege
ssh and X11 client

Installation procedures

First we need to ssh onto the server. Notice that we will need to use X11 later.

ssh -X -Y <user>@<server_ip_address> -p <port>

Then, on the server, we need first to clone the repository.

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common
sudo apt-get install git -y
git clone https://github.com/Entropy-xcy/GoogleDrive2NAS
cd GoogleDrive2NAS

Then we have to run the setup script. Notice that running this script requires root privilege.

./setup.sh

You will be asked to press [ENTER] and set password in this script. If you are deploying this on a virtual machine, it is a good idea to take a snapshot at this moment. We will then run the initialize script. X11 is required for this step.

./initialize.sh

A Firefox window will pop up, sign in your Google Drive account and we are done!

Usage

SMB

The user name of the smb is the user name you use to deploy ($USER).

The password is what you set in the setup script.

The share name is gd_FUSE. So the URL of the folder on windows should be

\\<server_ip_address>\gd_FUSE

Make sure you checked "Connect using different credentials" on windows.

NFS

(The default setting on the server is to allow any ip address to connect the share, you may change it in /etc/exports on the server.)

To mount this NFS share, we need to force the NFS4 type.

sudo mkdir /mnt/nfs
sudo mount -t nfs4 <server_ip_address>:/home/<username>/googledrive /mnt/nfs

AFP

(Still under development, not working yet.)
