GDriveFS ======== An innovative FUSE wrapper for Google Drive developed under Python 2.7 . Work has been done to start making GDriveFS compatible with Python 3, but most of this will probably be completed only after initial development has been finished. UPDATE: This project is under active development, but should now be mostly functionally complete (less a couple of more minor FUSE calls). I could use some help in testing it. Design goals: Thread for monitoring changes via "changes" functionality of API. (DONE) Complete stat() implementation. (DONE) Seamlessly work around duplicate-file allowances in Google Drive. (DONE) Seamlessly manage file-type versatility in Google Drive (Google Doc files do not have a particular format). (DONE) Allow for many-to-one references on the files. (DONE) Also, a design choice of other implementations is to make the user get API keys for Google Drive, and this doesn't make sense. Our implementation is built against OAuth 2.0 as a native application. You should just have to visit the authorization URL once, plug-in the auth-code, and be done with it. IMPORTANT ========= Both PyPI and the Google Code downloads for google_api_python_client have an old version of their libraries, prior to when they fixed some Unicode problems that might cause failure when dealing with downloads/uploads of certain types of files. To install from Mercurial, do the following: hg clone https://code.google.com/p/google-api-python-client cd google-api-python-client sudo python setup.py install sudo python setup.py install_egg_info Installation ============ Via PyPi: sudo pip install gdrivefs Manually: Expand into a directory named "gdrivefs" in the Python path, and run: sudo python setup.py install sudo python setup.py install_egg_info Usage ===== Before you can mount the account, you must authorize GDriveFS to access it. GDriveFS works by producing a URL that you must visit in a browser. Google will ask for your log-in information and authorization, and then give you an author- ization code. You then pass this code back to the GDriveFS utility along with a file-path of where you want it to store the authorization information ("auth storage file"). Then, you can mount it whenever you'd like. Since this is FUSE, you must be running as root to mount. 1) To get the authorization URL: gdfstool auth -u Output: To authorize FUSE to use your Google Drive account, visit the following URL to produce an authorization code: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fdrive+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fdrive.file&redirect_uri=urn%3Aietf%3Awg%3Aoauth%3A2.0%3Aoob&response_type=code&client_id=626378760250.apps.googleusercontent.com&access_type=offline 2) To set the authorization-code, you must also provide the auth-storage file that you would like to save it as. The name and location of this file is arbitrary: gdfstool auth -a /var/cache/gdrivefs.auth "4/WUsOa-Sm2RhgQCQStf9_NFAMMbRC.cj4LQYdXFdwfshQV0ieZDAqA-C7ecwI" Output: Authorization code recorded. 3) There are three ways to mount the account: a) Via script (either using the main script "gdfstool mount" or the helper scripts "gdfs"/"mount.gdfs"): gdfs -o allow_other /var/cache/gdrivefs.auth /mnt/gdrivefs b) Via /etc/fstab: /var/cache/gdrivefs.auth /mnt/gdrivefs gdfs allow_other 0 0 c) Directly via gdfstool: gdfstool mount /var/cache/gdrivefs.auth /mnt/gdrivefs Options ======= Any of the configuration values in conf.Conf can be overwritten as "-o" options. You may pass the full array of FUSE options this way, as well. Format Management ================= Google Drive will store Google Document files without a standard format. If you wish to download them, you have to select which format you'd like to download it as. One of the more exciting features of this FUSE implementation is the flexibility in choosing which format to download on the fly. See the section below labeled "Displaceables". If a mime-type isn't provided when requesting a file that requires a mime-type in order to download, GDFS will make a guess based on whether the extension in the filename (if one exists) can be mapped to a mime-type that is available among the export-types provided by GD for that specific file. The following is an example directory-listing. Notice the following features: > Manages duplicates by appending index numbers (e.g. "<filename> (2)"). > Mtimes, permissions, and ownership are correct. > Sizes are zero for file-types that Google hosts free of charge. These are always the files that don't have a strict, default format (the length is unknown). > Hidden files are prefixed with ".", thus hiding them from normal listings. > "Trashed" files are excluded from listings. > Any file that will require a mime-type in order to be downloaded has a "#" as the last character of its filename. -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Feb 17 07:52 20130217-145200 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Feb 17 08:04 20130217-150358 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 358356 Feb 15 15:06 American-Pika-with-Food.jpg -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1000 Oct 25 03:53 Dear Biola.docx# -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1000 Oct 25 02:47 Dear Biola.docx (1)# -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1000 Oct 15 14:29 Reflection.docx# -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1536036 Nov 28 22:37 lotterynumbers01.png drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Oct 4 06:08 Scratchpad# drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Dec 1 19:21 testdir_1421# -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5 Dec 2 08:50 testfile_0350 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Dec 2 21:17 .testfile_0417.swp -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Dec 3 00:38 testfile_1937 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Dec 2 23:13 testfile_hidden_1812 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1000 Oct 4 02:13 Untitled document# Displaceables ============= Google Documents stores all of its data on Google Drive. Google will store these files in an agnostic file entry whose format will not be determined until you download it in a specific format. Because the file is not stored in a particular format, it doesn't have a size. Because it doesn't have a size, the OS will not issue reads for more than (0) bytes. To get around this, a read of these types of files will only return exactly 1000 bytes of JSON-encoded "stub data".. Information about the entry, including the file-path that we've stored it to. This example also shows how we've specified a mime-type in order to get a PDF version of a Google Document file. # cp Copy\ of\ Dear\ Biola.docx#application+pdf /target # cat /tmp/Copy\ of\ Dear\ Biola.docx#application+pdf {"ImageMediaMetadata": null, "Length": 58484, "FilePath": "/tmp/gdrivefs/displaced/Copy of Dear Biola.docx.application+pdf", "EntryId": "1Ih5yvXiNN588EruqrzBv_RBvsKbEvcyquStaJuTZ1mQ", "Title": "Copy of Dear Biola.docx", "RequiresMimeType": true, "Labels": {"restricted": false, "starred": false, "viewed": true, "hidden": false, "trashed": false}, "OriginalMimeType": "application/vnd.google-apps.document", "ExportTypes": ["text/html", "application/pdf", "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document", "application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text", "application/rtf", "text/plain"], "FinalMimeType": "application/pdf"} From this, you can tell that the file was originally a Google Documents' mimetype, and now its a PDF mime-type. You can also see various flags, as well as the location that the actual, requested file was stored to. Cache/Change Management ======================= No cache is maintained. Updates are performed every few seconds using GD's "change" functionality. Extended Attributes =================== Extended attributes allow access to arbitrary, filesystem-specific data. You may access any of the properties that Google Drive provides for a given entry, plus a handful of extra ones. The values are JSON-encoded. Listing attributes: $ getfattr American-Pika-with-Food.jpg # file: American-Pika-with-Food.jpg user.extra.download_types user.extra.is_directory user.extra.is_visible user.extra.parents user.original.alternateLink user.original.createdDate user.original.downloadUrl user.original.editable user.original.etag user.original.fileExtension user.original.fileSize user.original.iconLink user.original.id user.original.imageMediaMetadata user.original.kind user.original.labels user.original.lastModifyingUser user.original.lastModifyingUserName user.original.md5Checksum user.original.mimeType user.original.modifiedByMeDate user.original.modifiedDate user.original.originalFilename user.original.ownerNames user.original.owners user.original.parents user.original.quotaBytesUsed user.original.selfLink user.original.shared user.original.thumbnailLink user.original.title user.original.userPermission user.original.webContentLink user.original.writersCanShare Getting specific attribute: $ getfattr --only-values -n user.original.id American-Pika-with-Food.jpg | json_reformat "0B5Ft2OXeDBqSSGFIanJ2Z2c3RWs" $ getfattr --only-values -n user.original.modifiedDate American-Pika-with-Food.jpg | json_reformat "2013-02-15T15:06:09.691Z" $ getfattr --only-values -n user.original.labels American-Pika-with-Food.jpg | json_reformat { "restricted": "False", "starred": "False", "trashed": "False", "hidden": "False", "viewed": "False" } You can use PHP to extract information from the JSON at the command-line: $ getfattr --only-values -n user.original.id \ gdrivefs/American-Pika-with-Food.jpg | \ php -r "print(json_decode(fgets(STDIN)));" Returns: 0B5Ft2OXeDBqSSGFIanJ2Z2c3RWs $ getfattr --only-values -n user.original.labels \ gdrivefs/American-Pika-with-Food.jpg | \ php -r "print(json_decode(fgets(STDIN))->restricted);" Returns: False Misc Notes ========== A file will be marked as hidden on Google Drive if it has a prefixing dot. However, Linux/Unix doesn't care about the "hidden" attribute. If you create a file on Google Drive, somewhere else, and want it to truly be hidden via this software, make sure you add the prefixing dot. Dustin Oprea dustin, randomingenuity.com
