Google File Stream functionality on Ubuntu

I use google-drive-ocamlfuse and it works perfectly. You can set up a "large file threshold" and it will stream all larger files. You can enable this in the config file. I have a Plex Media Server to which i have attached about 10TB of media files this way. Whenever I play a movie, the actual file is not downloaded, but streamed directly from drive even if the file needs converting. For uploading, it can only upload full files (drive api limitation). You can set the cache size limit and it will automatically clear rotate the cache

I had the same situation. I was moving from Windows 10 to Ubuntu. I did not have as much data as you, but I did want to have easy access to all my docs without taking space on my SSD.

My solution was more of a work around. On Ubuntu use any VM software such us VM Ware player or Virtual box to install an instance of Windows on your computer. Then, whatever the file is for Google file stream share it with the host.

A second option here is to only open the Windows VM when you need to access the files.

Another approach (I have not test) and I will only use if I truly open the files often enough is to use Wine to install File Stream.

I hope some of this solutions helps.

I thinks it is very frustrating that they leave Linux users behind. Good luck!
