Sort files and pack them into partitions.

Features

• Group dotfiles into units (stow packages)
• Automatically symlink (stow) files
• Backup dotfiles with git
• Keep track of simultaneous dotfile configurations for multiple environments
• Supports shell autocompletion

CryFS encrypts your Dropbox and protects you against hackers and data leaks. It also works well together with other cloud providers.

Hard disk encryption tool; it stores all setup information in the partition header, enabling easy data transport or migration.

Encrypted filesystem in user-space based on FUSE; mounts an encrypted directory into a clear one.

An Ash module that makes it easy to perform aes-256-cbc encryption for files and directories.

Locally mount a remote file-system through SSH and access files and directory as they would be on the local machine.

The purpose of this project is to provide an independent open source implementation of Google Drive client for GNU/Linux. It uses Google Drive REST API to talk to Google Drive service. The code is written in standard C++.

A tool to recursively scan a directory tree looking for duplicate and broken files; it outputs statistics and save the list of files in JSON format; it produce a shell script that can be inspected before running it to delete the desire files.

A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to find. Written in Rust.

A Commandline Tool That Offers Quick Access to Files and Directories. Fasd (pronounced similar to "fast") is a command-line productivity booster. Fasd offers quick access to files and directories for POSIX shells. It is inspired by tools like autojump, z and v. Fasd keeps track of files and directories you have accessed, so that you can quickly reference them in the command line.

Replacement for 'ls' written in Rust, with colors and several additional "views".

"A disk usage analyzer with an ncurses interface. It is designed to find space hogs on a remote server where you do not have an entire graphical setup available, but it is a useful tool even on regular desktop systems. Ncdu aims to be fast, simple and easy to use, and should be able to run in any minimal POSIX-like environment with ncurses installed."

In this guide, we will discuss four unofficial google drive clients for Linux. Using them, you can mount Google drive locally as a virtual file system.

Say you have an external hard drive with layers upon layers of cryptically named folders and intricate mazes of directories (like here, or here). How can you make sense of this mess? Python offers various tools in the Python standard library to deal with your file system and the folderstats module can be of additional help to gain insights into your file system.

In this article, you will learn the various ways to traverse and explore the file system with Python. In the next section, you will see how to extract statistics from files and directories. In the last section, you will see a practical way to analyze folder structures with folderstats and Pandas with some use cases and visualizations along the way.

Moving your filesystem to USB is a great way to improve reliability, speed and storage space on your Raspberry Pi. If you’re running something that is writing a lot of data constantly then having your filesystem on USB is safer because it’s less likely to get corrupted or stop working with a high amount of write cycles.
This tutorial is using a USB stick which doesn’t require any additional external power, if you want to use a larger USB hdd you will have to also get a powered USB hub because you’re Raspberry Pi doesn’t have enough juice to power it.

I’m using Raspbian for my operating system and I’ll assume you know how to install and configure that yourself.
