    Since this question is ranked highest on google and lists the derelict "fuse-google-drive" project, here's todays most up to date fuse implementation for google drive: https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse – user1415224 Jun 19 '13 at 06:40

fuse-google-drive is a fuse filesystem wrapper for Google Drive released under GPLv2

Currently in alpha stages. Do not trust this for anything important...

Discussion:

  • #fuse-google-drive on irc.freenode.net

Usage:

Right now you need to go to http://code.google.com/apis/console and create a new app and generate a client id and client secret for an install application. The clientid value and clientsecrets value should each go into:

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fuse-google-drive/clientid
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fuse-google-drive/clientsecrets

respectively. You should chmod 700 $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fuse-google-drive as well. If the folder does not exist at runtime, a helpful message is printed and the directory is created with the correct permissions if possible. Note: If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is unset on your system, it defaults to ~/.config/.

$ mkdir mountpoint
$ ./fuse-google-drive mountpoint

You can use the Google Documents List API to create a Fuse client.
