Is there a way to create a key binding that would allow me to mount my googledrive?











2















I was wondering is if there's a way to mount/unmount my google drive with a key binding without having to open a terminal.



I've opened the keyboard app and tried a few things with Application Shortcuts but nothing seems to work. Every command I've attached to my desired keybinding does nothing at all. Maybe I'm not using the correct command?

  • At first just google-drive-ocamlfuse, which I realized was dumb. Then I tried google-drive-ocamlfuse ~/googledrive, which I thought would work, but did not. Then sudo google-drive-ocamlfuse ~/googledrive, just to see, maybe? Nope. I even tried su $<myusername> -l -c "google-drive-ocamlfuse -label $1 $*" in vain. I wasn't holding out hope for that one.

    @poutingcavity FYI, Gallium is off-topic. However, the question being non-specific to that distribution makes it on-topic here and is useful to Ubuntu. For future use, if you have questions specific to another distribution, please ask on unix.stackexchange.com Also, please be mindful that on Ask Ubuntu you will receive only answers that can be solved with Ubuntu tools and that apply to Ubuntu (portable APIs and POSIX-compliant scripts are being exception).

    @dessert The issue is relevant to Ubuntu and can be done with Ubuntu tools, and solutions can be done on Ubuntu. Sure OP asked initially about Gallium, however it's not specific to Gallium OS. It's a beneficial question for our environment so it can stay here.

Short answer:



Mounting



/bin/bash -c "google-drive-ocamlfuse ~/path/to/foldershowinggoogledrive"


where path/to/foldershowinggoogledrive is the path relative to your homedir.



e.g. /home/you/googledrive -> ~/googledrive



No need for sudo!



Unmounting



Similarly, to unmount, if you use ~, you should use in a shortcut:



/bin/bash -c "fusermount -u ~/relative/mountpount"


Or if you use absolute path:



fusermount -u /absolute/path/to/mountpoint


Why /bin/bash -c?



You could use



google-drive-ocamlfuse /absolute/path/to/folder


but since you are using ~, you need the expansion handled by bash.

    @JacobVlijm You might want to consider adding fusermount as alternative command as well so that people see it in the answer instead of the comments (which are much easier deleted or moved to chats than answers themselves)

Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"? A google search revealed some webpages (e.g. [1]) that assert its origin is related to consumption of food -- once a meal has been eaten, it's under your belt (which is a relief). However, with such websites, I have no way to determine fact from "random guy on the internet making stuff up". etymology idioms ...
