📀 Unlimited Google Drive Storage by splitting binary files into base64

🌌 UDS : Unlimited Drive Storage

Store files in Google Docs without counting against your quota.

sorry @ the guys from google internal forums who are looking at this

Development on a web-based JS version has started here.

Note: After June 1st 2021, starting June 1, 2021, Google will count Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Forms and Jamboard files against the user's storage quota.

Features

• Upload files to Google Drive without using storage space
• Download any stored files to your computer

Logic

• Google Docs take up 0 bytes of quota in your Google Drive
• Split up binary files into Google Docs, with base64 encoded text
• Size of the encoded file is always larger than the original. Base64 encodes binary data to a ratio of about 4:3.
• A single google doc can store about a million characters. This is around 710KB of base64 encoded data.
• Some experiments with multi-threading the uploads, but there was no significant performance increase.

Setup & Authentication

1. Clone the Repository and setup the requirements pip3 install -r requirements.txt
2. Head to Google's API page and enable the Drive API
3. Download the configuration file as 'client_secret.json' to the UDS directory
4. Run python3 uds.py or ./uds.py for initial set up
