Install dependencies:

sudo aptitude install python-fuse python-elementtree

Karmic only has python-gdata 1.2.4-0ubuntu2 which is too old so get gdata 2.0.6 from here:

http://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/

and install that. Look for the README.txt and INSTALL.txt for info.

Once the dependencies are satisfied:

sudo aptitude install subversion
svn co http://google-docs-fs.googlecode.com/^Cn/trunk/ google-docs-fs

and install that.

Then "gmount /doc john.doe" will work without even needing sudo. Note that "/doc" has to be owned by your non-root account. Substitute your google docs account for "john.doe" (duh.)

mount | grep gFile
gFile.py on /doc type fuse.gFile.py (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=babystrangeloop)
Edited by babystrangeloop because: mention installing subversion to get "svn" command

I'm interested in hearing from anyone who gets this to work or fails trying.

Thanks

Why you would want this:

We're happy to announce that over the next few weeks we will be rolling out the ability to upload, store and organize any type of file in Google Docs.

Mounting a free 1GB network disk drive from Google will be cool. Right now only certain types of files can be saved to it but soon any type of file (but not any size.)
