Support Team Drives

[ddrozdov]

A new business feature has been announced some time ago - Team Drives.

Please add an option to specify a team drive name on mount operation.

See the API docs.

[robindirksen1]

When will this become available?

[astrada]

The problem is that this feature it's only available as part of G Suite, and I don't have a G Suite account.

[CzechJiri]

@astrada I can give you temporary access to our G Suite account if this helps

[astrada]

@CzechJiri: Thanks! That would be great! Ping me at alessandro.strada@gmail.com

[Kosudo]

Perhaps this may help (2nd November):

"You’ve told us that you want more tools to see and manage all of the Team Drives in your domain in one location. Today, we’re making that easier by providing new methods in the Google Drive API that enable developers to build tools for Team Drive membership management, cybersecurity solutions, and more."

If you integrate the team drive functionality, we would pay you for this feature. It's a very important point for my company. Thank you very much. Regards Volker Holthaus

No need, thanks. I need only a temporary G Suite account. Please contact me at alessandro.strada@gmail.com

[dbosso]

Team drives can be shared with non g-suite accounts, perhaps you just need a drive shared? I can do this if it will expedite the feature.

[HelgeS]

@astrada I have invited you as a member to a team drive at my organization.

[astrada]

@HelgeS, thank you very much! I'll let you know if I need something to test the implementation.

[astrada]

@HelgeS, I think I have an experimental version that you can test. Let me know if you installed google-drive-ocamlfuse via opam or ppa, so that I can give you instructions on how to install the test version. Thanks!

[revoluzzer]

If you have a ppa version, i could test the team drive functionality. Regards Volker

I'm on arch linux, but it seems the install scripts there are stuck on 0.6.21 and still require a setup.ml, which no longer exists.

But using the release sources for version 0.6.23, I get a compile error:

@HelgeS you need a newer version of gapi-ocaml.

@astrada how does one use the new team drive functionality? I'd like to test it and got everything built.

[astrada]

@d235j I added team_drive_id= in config where you can put the id of the root folder of your team drive. You can get the id from the web interface, clicking on your team drive and copying the id you can find in the url (after https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/). I didn't implement a search by name because it requires admin privileges.

[astrada]

To install the new test version via opam, you can use the following commands:

opam pin -n add gapi-ocaml https://github.com/astrada/gapi-ocaml#master
opam pin -n add google-drive-ocamlfuse https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse#beta
opam update
opam upgrade

to restore the stable version:

opam pin -n remove gapi-ocaml
opam pin -n remove google-drive-ocamlfuse
opam update
opam upgrade

[astrada]

I've managed to upload updated packages (google-drive-ocamlfuse v0.6.23/gapi-ocaml v0.3.6) for zesty and xenial. Unfortunately I wasn't able to update artful because the OCaml packages I depend on are broken and trusty because the OCaml compiler is too old and doesn't support the last changes I had to make for compatibility with the new OCaml compiler (4.06.0).

[Tigerhacker]

@astrada just trying to test this out, installed via the beta ppa repo and have put into the config file ~/.gdfuse/\<myLabelName>/config team_drive_id=0AF3...

for my team drive however I am not seeing a new folder appear. Where should the team drive appear, would it just appear as another folder under the mount point? Or am I missing some steps?

Thanks.

[Tigerhacker]

Ah, never mind, figured it out, for anyone else wondering, it appears you need to

• create a new label, i.e. google-drive-ocamlfuse -headless -label myTeamDrive ... and authorise
• add the team_drive_id config before the first time you mount
• once mounted with google-drive-ocamlfuse -label myTeamDrive /mountPoint, the team drive is mounted there (instead of your usual 'My Drive')

So if you want to mount both your drive and a team drive, you will need to create separate labels for each

[astrada]

Thanks @Tigerhacker. I added a new wiki page with your instructions.

[HelgeS]

I managed to get it to work on my machine, too.

Great job, thank you so much!

[Stepulin]

Hi,

I would like to confirm that with version 0.6.23 adding team drive works. With version 0.6.21 the line team_drive_id= was always deleted after remounting the drive.

Nicely done! PS: I took the liberty and put steps for Debian Stretch that worked for me.

[astrada]

@Stepulin thanks!

[h-evers]

Confirm what @Stepulin said for 0.6.21 removing the "team_drive_id" at startup. Sadly building 0.6.23/24 on Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful) via "opam" is not possible due to "libselinux-dev" dependency error. Any idea?

[rbroderi]

I was able to manually download 0.6.24 package from https://launchpad.net/~alessandro-strada/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages and install it on artful
