  Description     : FUSE filesystem over Google Drive

google-drive-ocamlfuse is a FUSE-based file system backed by Google Drive,
written in OCaml. It lets you mount your Google Drive on Linux.
.
Features:
 *  Full read/write access to ordinary files and folders
 *  Read-only access to Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides (exported to
    configurable formats)
 *  Multiple account support
 *  Duplicate file handling
 *  Access to trash (`.Trash` directory)

Since the only package in the repositories interfacing with Google Drive --
grive -- is now broken (see bug #783169), it's useful to have a replacement.
There is a RFP for such a program already (see bug #714973), but that one does
not seem to be actively maintained, judging from the last commit to the git
repository (9 Sep 2012) and the lack of response to reported issues.

Thanks in advance,
Willem Mulder

Just for the records, there is an Ubuntu package:
https://launchpad.net/~alessandro-strada/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
which I am using succesfully under Debian testing, and which might be a
starting point for a Debian package.
