so f/devs i have a question for you

i have 1TB of wedding footage to download from photographer

i have 2 macbooks: both have 100gb available

i have 1.7TB space in google drive. i have no hard drives. 

i need to download these files ASAP, ideally skipping local storage

wat do??

Mount the Google Drive as NFS and save the file there. If the NFS abstraction is done properly, your local storage is never needed. For example, this might work:

CEO at Google • co-founder & rectangle mover at /icebreaker • icebreaker.xyz/j4ck • /j4ck • DJ sixsix

Mount the Google Drive as NFS and save the file there. If the NFS abstraction is done properly, your local storage is never needed. For example, this might work: https://cloudmounter.net

Buidling homestaking stuff HomestakerOS.com

got it, so just change the location of the download to this?

maybe i can just do this already with Drive FileStream?

Yeah, generally, changing the location should work. But like Dropbox used to be a folder of local files that were periodically synced to Dropbox. It is different than using a pure Network File System, which never stores anything on your computer. I dont know which one FileStream is. CloudMounter is surely a NFS one.
