Store files in Google Docs without counting against your quota.
sorry @ the guys from google internal forums who are looking at this
Development on a web-based JS version has started here.
Note: After June 1st 2021, starting June 1, 2021, Google will count Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Forms and Jamboard files against the user's storage quota.
- Upload files to Google Drive without using storage space
- Download any stored files to your computer
- 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.
- Clone the Repository and setup the requirements
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
- Head to Google's API page and enable the Drive API
- Download the configuration file as 'client_secret.json' to the UDS directory
- Run
python3 uds.py
or./uds.py
for initial set up
> ./uds.py --push Ubuntu.Desktop.16.04.iso
Ubuntu.Desktop.16.04.iso will required 543 Docs to store.
