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++.

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.
