Box Fuse FileSystem - this filesystem allows you mount a box account as a fuse filesystem for read-only. I originally wrote it so that I could serve my home media collection via Kodi and using SMB seemed like a good idea. Although this filesystem works, it can't get the throughput to serve full 1080p video due to the inherent FUSE filesystem blocksize of 128K. Re-compiling the kernel fuse module seems a bit drastic.
My next alternative is to create a box proxy and serve the media collection locally using HTTP into, see related project.
Install python3 and dependent modules:
sudo apt-get install fuse libfuse-dev python3 python3-pip python3-fusepy
pip3 install "boxsdk>=1.5,<2.0"Clone this repo:
git clone <this repo>Access Box Developer Portal and Create a new Custom App and use Standard Oauth 2.0: https://developer.box.com/docs/setting-up-an-oauth-app Provides a "Client ID" and "Client Secret"
./standalone.sh <mountpoint>First time you fun this will prompt you to log-in to box and ask you to authorise the app. This runs in the foreground so when you exit the process it unmounts the filesystem. To exit press CTRL-C and then it exits into an interactive python prompt, the press CTRL-D to exit completely.
