๐ UDS : Unlimited Drive Storage โ
Store files in Google Docs without counting against your quota.
sorry @ the guys from google internal forums who are looking at this
Development on a web-based JS version has started here.
Note: After June 1st 2021, starting June 1, 2021, Google will count Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Forms and Jamboard files against the user's storage quota.
Features โ
- Upload files to Google Drive without using storage space
 - Download any stored files to your computer
 
Logic โ
- Google Docs take up 0 bytes of quota in your Google Drive
 - Split up binary files into Google Docs, with base64 encoded text
 - Size of the encoded file is always larger than the original. Base64 encodes binary data to a ratio of about 4:3.
 - A single google doc can store about a million characters. This is around 710KB of base64 encoded data.
 - Some experiments with multi-threading the uploads, but there was no significant performance increase.
 
Setup & Authentication โ
- Clone the Repository and setup the requirements 
pip3 install -r requirements.txt - Head to Google's API page and enable the Drive API
 - Download the configuration file as 'client_secret.json' to the UDS directory
 - Run 
python3 uds.pyor./uds.pyfor initial set up
