I think just a simple option to the command line utility to print this info would be very useful
I'll just drop a +1 here.
Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to add a progress bar visible in some kind of UI (console or GUI). My application provides a FUSE filesystem, and a filesystem does not provide a callback to report progress to the user interface. Moreover my application is single threaded, because the multi-threading version of the library I'm using is not stable, so there would be no way to notify the calling process in the middle of a download or an upload. Sorry.
I see, thanks for letting me know!
Thank you for the great plugin! Jay

A suggestion: provide an API for a separate UI process to query sync status. A couple ways you could do this:
Note that, for all the above options that add files to the FS, it is OK in fuse to have a filename that does not show in directory listings but is accessible when opened by name. Or you could have the status socket/file visible, if that's not a problem.
Thanks for your suggestion. The main problem is that I'm using an OCaml binding of FUSE that's not maintained anymore and I don't know C well enough to patch the library myself.
I know this is a very old feature request, but I wanted to +1 it.
I am currently relying on monitoring ocamlfuse's bandwidth usage with nethogs to determine when it has finished uploading all of the files.
yeah, a status of the current files being uploaded/download would be enough I think
I have a suggestion for a feature: Some way of notifying the user of the current sync status (like % complete) so the user knows when all of the files are finished syncing.
I have > 20 GB on my google drive, and it includes data and figures that are large files. When I am working on my linux machine it would be nice to know when all my changes on my other machines are available
Thank you for your time! I really enjoy google-drive-ocamlfuse! It really helps me out :)
