By default the configuration file is first created in `~/.gdfuse/default/config` (or `~/.gdfuse/label/config` if a label was specified on the command line). If the program is launched with the `-xdgbd` flag, however, the file is instead created in `~/.config/gdfuse/default/config` or `~/.config/gdfuse/label/config`; see [Configuration path priority](#configuration-path-priority) for more details. The parser is very simple and only accepts lines in the form `key=value`, without spaces, comments, or anything else. ### Content Specifies the interval in seconds between queries to detect server-side changes: metadata_cache_time=60 Specifies if the filesystem is to be mounted read-only: read_only=false Specifies the umask (i.e. the bitmask of the permissions that are not present) mount option: umask=0o002 Specifies the Sqlite3 busy handler timeout in milliseconds: sqlite3_busy_timeout=5000 Specifies whether to download Google Docs (these files are read-only, even if `read_only=false`): download_docs=true Text document [[export format|Exportable-formats#valid-download-formats-for-text-documents]]: document_format=odt If `document_format=desktop`, specifies the icon of the desktop link (default is no icon): document_icon= Drawings [[export format|Exportable-formats#valid-download-formats-for-drawings]]: drawing_format=png If `drawing_format=desktop`, specifies the icon of the desktop link (default is no icon): drawing_icon= Forms [[export format|Exportable-formats#valid-formats-for-spreadsheets]]: form_format=ods If `form_format=desktop`, specifies the icon of the desktop link (default is no icon): form_icon= Presentations [[export format|Exportable-formats#valid-formats-for-presentations]]: presentation_format=pdf If `presentation_format=desktop`, specifies the icon of the desktop link (default is no icon): presentation_icon= Spreadsheets [[export format|Exportable-formats#valid-formats-for-spreadsheets]]: spreadsheet_format=ods If `spreadsheet_format=desktop`, specifies the icon of the desktop link (default is no icon): spreadsheet_icon= Maps export format (the only valid format is `desktop`): map_format=desktop If `map_format=desktop`, specifies the icon of the desktop link (default is no icon): map_icon= Fusion table export format (the only valid format is `desktop`): fusion_table_format=desktop If `fusion_table_format=desktop`, specifies the icon of the desktop link (default is no icon): fusion_table_icon= Google Apps Script [[export format|Exportable-formats#valid-formats-for-google-apps-scripts]]: apps_script_format=json If `apps_script_format=desktop`, specifies the icon of the desktop link (default is no icon): apps_script_icon= OAuth2 client ID (optional): client_id= OAuth2 client secret (optional): client_secret= OAuth2 verification code (optional). Useful when authorizing on a different machine. verification_code= Google Drive supports multiple files with the same name. This flag specifies the behavior of `mv`: When set to `false`, `mv` behaves in the standard way, overwriting (trashing) the target file if it exists. When set to `true`, `mv` will always keep the target file: keep_duplicates=false Specifies whether to display file extensions for Google Docs: docs_file_extension=true Specifies the maximum cache size in MB: max_cache_size_mb=512 Specifies whether to permanently turn off CURL logging (even in debug mode). Set it to `true` to avoid a segmentation fault on some architectures: curl_debug_off=false Specifies whether files removed from trash folder are permanently deleted (**WARNING**: permanently deleted files *cannot be recovered*, set it to `true` at your own risk): delete_forever_in_trash_folder=false Specifies whether to directly stream large files, so that are no more cached (please note that this does not affect file uploading): stream_large_files=false Specifies the threshold (in megabytes) to detect large files: large_file_threshold_mb=16 Specifies if large files should be read-only, to avoid accidental uploads of very big files (checked only if `stream_large_files=true`): large_file_read_only=false Specifies whether to upload files in a concurrent thread: async_upload=true Specifies connection timeout in milliseconds: connect_timeout_ms=5000 Specifies maximum download speed per connection in bytes/second (`0` = unlimited): max_download_speed=0 Specifies maximum upload speed per connection in bytes/second (`0` = unlimited): max_upload_speed=0 Specifies when a transfer is too slow. If speed (in bytes/second) is under `low_speed_limit` for `low_speed_time` (in seconds), the file transfer will be terminated (`0` = don't check): low_speed_limit=0 low_speed_time=0 Specifies maximum number of retries after an error occurred (during a Drive API request): max_retries=8 Specifies the maximum size in bytes of an upload chunk: max_upload_chunk_size=1099511627776 (* 1TB for 64-bit machines *) max_upload_chunk_size=805306368 (* 768MB for 32-bit machines *) Specifies the minimum size of download buffers (used only if `stream_large_files=true`): memory_buffer_size=1048576 (* 1MB *) Specifies the maximum memory occupation of read-ahead buffers, before it starts to de-allocate the oldest ones (used only if `stream_large_files=true`): max_memory_cache_size=10485760 (* 10MB *) Specifies how many blocks (of `memory_buffer_size` bytes) to download in parallel (used only if `stream_large_files=true`): read_ahead_buffers=3 When set to `true`, creates a new directory `/lost+found` where you can access unorganized files (those you can get filtering with `is:unorganized owner:me` in the web interface): lost_and_found=false When set to `true`, creates a new read-only directory `/.shared` where you can access all files that are shared with you (those you can get in the `Shared with me` section of the web interface): shared_with_me=false Enable XDG Base Directory support (to turn it on use `-xdgbd` command line option; see [Configuration path priority](#configuration-path-priority) for more information): xdg_base_directory=false Path of the directory storing application state (if blank uses the default): data_directory= Path of the directory storing application cache (if blank uses the default): cache_directory= Path of the directory containing log files (if blank uses the default): log_directory= [Since 0.6.20] Specifies a Google Drive folder to use as root, if you don't want to expose your entire drive from your mountpoint. You can use a folder id or a full remote path: root_folder= [Since 0.6.23] Specifies the Team Drive id, if you want to mount a [[Team Drive|Team Drives]]: team_drive_id= [Since 0.7.0] Enables in-memory metadata cache: metadata_memory_cache=true [Since 0.7.0] Specifies every how many seconds the metadata cache is saved to sqlite3 db: metadata_memory_cache_saving_interval=30 [Since 0.7.0] Permits the download of files marked by Google Drive as abusive: acknowledge_abuse=false [Since 0.7.0] Customize the executable to run when you specify a `desktop` export format: desktop_entry_exec= ### Document export formats `desktop` format creates a shortcut to the document that will be opened in the web browser for edit. If you don't want to export a specific kind of docs, just remove the format portion. For example, if you have this line in your `config` file: drawing_format= no drawings will be exported. Note that if you change any export format, you will have to clear the cache (using `-cc` command line option). Note also that this feature works only if you set `docs_file_extension=true`. ### Configuration path priority The application reads or initializes its configuration according to the following logic: 1. `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gdfuse/` is read if already existing; 2. Otherwise `$HOME/.gdfuse/` is read if already existing; 3. Otherwise `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gdfuse/` is created, but only if the `-xdgbd` flag has been passed to the command; 4. Otherwise `$HOME/.gdfuse/` is created. This is done in compliance with the [XDG Base Directory Specification](http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/). The `xdg_base_directory` option in the `default/config` (or `label/config`) file acts independently from the mechanism above: if set to `true` (default with the `-xdgbd` flag), it tells the program to also use the `$XDG_DATA_HOME` and `$XDG_CACHE_HOME` paths; if set to `false`, all the user's data will stay under the `gdfuse` directory, wherever it is located.
