Google Drive

Setup Google client secrets:

https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials

Turn on the Drive API

1. Use this wizard to create or select a project in the Google Developers Console and automatically turn on the API. Click Continue, then Go to credentials.
2. On the Add credentials to your project page, click the Cancel button.
3. At the top of the page, select the OAuth consent screen tab. Select an Email address, enter a Product name if not already set, and click the Save button.
4. Select the Credentials tab, click the Create credentials button and select OAuth client ID.
5. Select the application type Other, enter the name "Drive API Quickstart", and click the Create button.
6. With the result dialog, copy clientID and client secret and create json file as shown in example (this can be retrieved any time by clicking on the api key)

sample gdrive.yaml config:

client_secret:
  client_id: *Client ID*
  client_secret: *Client Secret*

$ cloudmount gdrive.yaml $HOME/mntpoint

Also it's possible to create the yaml file in home directory as $HOME/.cloudmount/gdrive.yaml if <source> parameter is omitted it will default to this file

cloudmount gdrivefs will retrieve an oauth2 token and save in same file

Dropbox

Setup Dropbox client secrets:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps

1. Click Create App
2. Select the API, type of access, and App name
3. Use the values from App key and App secret

sample dropbox.yaml file:

client_secret:
  client_id: *App Key*
  client_secret: *App secret*

$ cloudmount -t dropbox savedfile.yaml /mnt/point

On the first run a link will appear and it will request a token resulting from the link

Mega

For mega just create the yaml file with the following structure:

type: mega
credentials: 
  email: *your mega account email*
  password: *your mega account password*

$ cloudmount -t mega config.yaml /mnt/point

Packages:

• https://github.com/jacobsa/fuse -- fuse implementation (did some minor changes to support ARM)
• https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-go-unofficial -- dropbox client (did some minor changes to fix an issue regarding non authorized urls)
• https://github.com/t3rm1n4l/go-mega -- mega.co.nz
• https://google.golang.org/api/drive/v3 -- google drive
• https://github.com/gohxs/boiler -- code templating

TODO & IDEAS:

• Consider using github.com/codegangsta/cli
• Create test suit to implement new packages
• Caching: long term caching, maintain most used files locally until flush/change
• Add logging to syslog while on -d
