Is It Possible to Mount RClone (Google Drive) as Samba Share?

[newoski]

Hi Guys,

 

I followed spaceinvader's tutorial on rclone and I got everything setup. I can see my disks/google and /disks/secure remotes via Krusader and Midnight Commander, but I was wondering if it's possible to actually export them as a Samba share that would be visible in Windows?

Thanks so much for any help!

Here's what I'm currently using in my Mount script:

 

mkdir -p /mnt/disks/google
mkdir -p /mnt/disks/secure

#This section mounts the various cloud storage into the folders that were created above.

rclone mount --max-read-ahead 1024k --allow-other google: /mnt/disks/google &
rclone mount --max-read-ahead 1024k --allow-other secure: /mnt/disks/secure &

Add something like 

 [GOOGLE]
  path=/mnt/disks/google
	valid users = whomever
	write list = whomever

to /boot/config/smb-extra.conf

What would standard usage be, there? I'm not sure what users to assign -- I don't use much beyond root

Tried adding the following:

 

[GOOGLE]
  path=/mnt/disks/google
    valid users = root
[SECURE]
  path=/mnt/disks/secure
    valid users = root

Ended up with errors in my logs:

And not sure if root would work (probably not).  I'd set up your valid users there (of which root definitely is not one).  Otherwise, you can google on samba options for setting it up as public

So the recommended way to interact with it is truly via rclone, both two and from the remote, or via MC/Krusader?

Not saying that, and I don't use rclone.  Simply answered your question about how to make the folder available over SMB, which was to make the mods to the smb-extra.conf file

OK, thanks again. Appreciate your help!
