Plexdrive

Plexdrive allows you to mount your Google Drive account as fuse filesystem.

The project is comparable to projects like rclone or node-gdrive-fuse, but optimized for media streaming e.g. with plex ;)

I tried using rclone a long time, but got API Quota errors ever day, or more times a day. So I decided to try node-gdrive-fuse. The problem here was, that it missed some of my media files, so I started implementing my own file system library.

Installation

1. First you should install fuse on your system
2. Then you should download the newest release from the GitHub release page.
3. Create your own client id and client secret (see https://rclone.org/drive/#making-your-own-client-id).
4. Run the application like this

./plexdrive /path/to/my/mount

    	Path to a temporary directory to store temporary data (default "/tmp")
