Very cool project! Close to my heart. I write ExpanDrive
http://www.expandrive.com http://www.expandrive.com
Which operates with the same idea, up to a 10Gb local cache and will stream out larger files. Supports a huge number of storage back ends (Dropbox, Google Drive/GCS, Amazon S3/Drive, OneDrive, SFTP, etc). Also can pin files and trees into the cache.

- drtyolmck 8y agoI use expandrive everyday. Thanks man.
- kyrra 8y agoIs that similar to the Drive FS client then (except it's obviously multi-cloud and backend)? https://support.google.com/a/answer/7491144?hl=en https://support.google.com/a/answer/7491144?hl=en
- deadonarrival 8y agoAny progress on the Linux version?

- rosege 8y agoDoes everything get stored in the cloud - even files that are in the 10Gb local cache?
- hemancuso 8y agoYes, unless you're offline - in which case it stays in the cache until a connection is available.
- geekone 8y agoVery pedantic but I think "Built with in Boston." is intended to be "Built in Boston." in the footer?
- hemancuso 8y agoThere is a red heart after "with" - or at least there is on every machine I've tried.
- geekone 8y agoScript blocker bit me there, you are right :). Looks like a very interesting project!
- amelius 8y agoBased on "I write ExpanDrive", I thought the author was Chinese.
- hemancuso 8y agoA bit rude. I like that phrasing.
- wumms 8y agoSounds good. At what stage would I need to buy the license? I could not find any info on that.

- toomuchtodo 8y ago“ExpanDrive runs unlicensed and fully featured for 7 days giving you a chance to try everything out. Once the trial period expires you’ll need to buy a license or you will be limited to 20 minutes of use.”
- Brajeshwar 8y agoHappy customer of Expandrive for quite a while. Got a lifetime license.
- dflock 8y agoAnywhere I can sign up to be notified when the Linux version is out?
- hemancuso 8y agolinux@expandrive.com
- sz4kerto 8y agoBought a license maybe 4-5 years ago because the website said that Linux support is coming very soon. It's been coming since then. Tried to sign up for the beta but didn't even get an answer. :(
- dpacmittal 8y agoRclone can mount 20+ backends and has caching and mounting support. I guess you can do something similar with Rclone. Plus it's FOSS.
- hemancuso 8y agoOriginally said "coming soon" to see if anyone was interested. Turns out they are!

- gdfasfklshg4 8y agoCan you explain a little more what you mean by this?
- pvinis 8y agoIt means that is was not actually "coming soon". It said that, just to see if many people are interested in that feature. If there were many people interested, development of that feature would start. If not many people were interested, I guess the text would have been just removed. Makes sense?
- arthurcolle 8y agoPretty convoluted to me...
- giancarlostoro 8y agoBut at least they've been working on it for a good minute: https://twitter.com/expandrive/status/1000012200612950017 https://twitter.com/expandrive/status/1000012200612950017
- konschubert 8y agoWhy is the local cache limited to 10 GB? I am building Zero to store my personal pictures and videos and I feel like 10GB local cache means that only the last month of pictures and videos is local, which seems very limited. Are there any technical reasons why the cache cannot be 500GB?
- hemancuso 8y agoIt used to be unlimited but most of the users ultimately desired to offload data and access it on demand. It should be configurable but currently isn’t.
