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
- 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.
