Gmail drive on linux?

[subscrive]

Hi,

There is gmail drive for windows platform where the person can access his gmail storage space as a drive.
Do we have something similar on Linux? Means is there any software that will allow the person to 'mount' the gmail storage and say 'copy/paste' from his system to the gmail account?

Funny you should ask, the gmail drive was developed on linux first and ported to Windows...
...Anyway here's a link that may help...

@Vergil83:

apt-get install gmailfs

done

After doing that, how do you use the program?

[bigtomrodney]

It is a fuse driver, you can mount it manually or add it to fstab. Check out this link

bigtomrodney, Thanks for the quick reply
I first did

sudo apt-get install gmailfs

, then I went here. I tried the command line based mount, using:

mount -t gmailfs /usr/local/bin/gmailfs.py /path/of/mount/point -o username=gmailuser,password=gmailpass,fsname=zOlRRa

and replaced "gmailuser" with my gmail name and "gmailpass" with my password, and I made "/path/of/mount/point" "/media/gmail", then it tells me only root can do that so I did the command prefaced by sudo. It returned the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/sbin/mount.gmailfs", line 17, in <module>
import gmailfs
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gmailfs.py", line 32, in <module>
import libgmail
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libgmail.py", line 36, in <module>
import ClientCookie
ImportError: No module named ClientCookie

What is the problem? How can I fix it?

[bigtomrodney]

Looks like you need python-clientcookie. All you need to do is install that:-

apt-get install python-clientcookie

Rerun the mount command after and see how you get on.
