Unlimited Drive Storage by splitting binary files into base64

🌌 UDS : Unlimited Drive Storage

Store files in Google Docs without counting against your quota.

Features

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

Logic

• 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 multithreading the uploads, but there was no significant performance increase.

Authentication

1. Head to Google's API page and enable the Drive API
2. Download the configuration file as 'client_secret.json' to the UDS directory
3. run python uds.py for initial set up
