#3315 — The Google Drive to Linux bridge is here !! All I need is a little token to cross.

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Folks,

We Linux users do no have to wait forever. CyberDuck (*duck* for us 
Linus fanbois on a first name basis) is here:

     https://cyberduck.io/

See the help in the attachment below.

     Google Cloud Storage
     gs://<container>/<key>

I presume that "Google Cloud Storage" applies to the commercial and the 
freebie Google Drive?

The only question is this:

Exactly what should I type? I have a free, plain vanilla Google Drive 
account. How do I determine its [container] and [key]?

TIA,

-Ramon

I would like to share what I have.

(a) A freebie Google Drive account. Don't have the slightest idea how to 
access it yet. See here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29438616/how-to-access-google-drive-from-cli-cyberduck

(b) I got a Google developer account, free for 30 days, must provide 
credit card number. I have made more progress on that front:

After you download and install the Google Storage Utility ("gsutil" for 
Linux, just Python stuff, nothing native):

% gsutil config  //(at this point you *must* have the BILLING option done).

Then you create and see your own "buckets" with the "mb" option.

% gsutil mb gs://dogs      // Fails, somebody already created that one
% gsutil mb gs://usa       // Fails
% gsutil mb gs://venezuela // succeeds, as usual I am the first from 
that God forsaken country
% gsutil mb gs://ramon     // Succeeds - My namesakes are eating my dust

% gsutil -l                // displays only your buckets

I found more info with this command:

% gsutil ls -L gs://

Well, well, well... The darn thing has a Un*x look & feel:

% gsutil cp    grive-0.3.0-1.el6.xz.x86_64.rpm      gs://ramon

Copying plain files back & forth is a breeze. I don't even need grive or 
duck !!


HOWEVER, at this point I am using my *paid* (free for 30 days) account, 
and what I really need to access is my free Google Drive files.

#3325 — I was wrong, you guys were right

That was too good to be true. In fact, CyberDuck *used* to support 
Google Drive but in all their magnificent wisdom, they decided to drop 
it. Their excuse is "spring cleaning" and are asking we users to beg 
(demand, request, woo, entice, same thing) for them to bring it back.

They only support Google Cloud Storage, which is a funny decision:

  - Both gsutil and *duck* support Google Cloud Storage (and then again, 
paid GCS)

  - None of them support Google Drive.

So they are after the same tiny market, while abandoning the huge one.

Since you're from Venezuela, you have no interest in supporting the 
American machine. Therefore, using Google is a bad idea anyway. You 
should set up ownCloud and run your own server.

You are making a very common mistake, esteemed Slimer. You are confusing 
me with my cousin, Bernardo Alvarez Herrera, who works in Washington, DC.

For reasons that should be obvious (see his picture below), Bernardo is 
not exactly the most welcome relative at the Herrera family gatherings.

Notice my forum signature, and check out what I and the Venezuelan 
opposition distributed widely when the cancer of El Bastardo was known, 
and specially during the national celebration after his death:
