Says: I really like this script and think that with some changes it could be really usefull
things i recomend :
>make files that are downloaded keep the original file extension
>Enable people to give out a link to the files for others to download without knowing the email address or password
>make it template driven so that it easy to modify the look
overall this is great work. please keep going with it

Says: Well, it works - I just uploaded a 19 MB file to "my gdrive".
BUT - it was somewhat SLOW - around 400 kb/s - compared to my upload of a small file using the MUCH friendlier Gmail Drive Shell Extension from viksoe.dk.
With GMail Drive I can even use the Send To option when I right-click on a file
Who: u24
When: February 14th, 2005
Says: yeah, I'd noticed it was slow. There are three possible reasons. Firstly, it will be slow on this server as it's shared hosting. Secondly, the code has to process the entire file - split it into chunks of ~7Mb (though this is changable), and add indexes, etc. Thirdly, I believe the Gmail Drive you're talking about is a windows plugin, ja? Compiled code will always be faster than a script.
Oh, and also, PHP is one of the slower scripts, maybe doing it in perl would be faster (but there is no libgmailer for perl)

I like the idea about being able to give out links to files, I'll add that when I get a chance.
some files didn't keep their original extension - they should do now. well spotted.
i will consider templating it, but at least it's stylesheeted.
I do need to update the UI.

Who: u24
When: February 16th, 2005
Says: the one on the 'source' link above is the no-attachment-limit one.
You'll need to configure your webserver to allow larger uploads (if your webserver supports .htaccess then the script will automatically set max file size to 1000Mb)

from u24: yep, good idea, expect it in the next version (which should be a few weeks from now)
Who:
When: February 27th, 2005
Says: Hi all, I've got a problem in installing this script to my
freespaces; with the
demo page, I can upload and download without problem(just a little slower in uploading), then I tried to install it, I've
followed the steps
to modify this line(inside the config.php):
// where am i?
// full path, eg http://www.blah.com/files/gigdrive
// no trailing slash.
define("GDRIVE_LOCATION","http://sigssz.spymac.net/gdrive",true);
to my address, and I've created the "tmp" folder, though.
But it works with a little bit difference: the title of page is
"gMail Drive v(?=VERSION?)." instead of "gMail Drive v0.6" which is
what it looks like
in your demopage.
Then I tried to log in, the page display becomes a little bit strange
like a page not properly
written, with lines like:
==============================================
setLoginInfo($_SESSION['g_user'], $_SESSION['g_pass'], 1);
$gm->connect(); if(isset($_GET['logout'])) { $gm->disconnect();
header("Location: index.php"); } switch($_REQUEST['action']) { case
"upload": g_upload($_FILES['upfile'],$_POST['sendto']); break; case
"download": g_download($_GET['hash']); break; case "delete":
g_delete($_GET['hash']); break; case "forward":
g_forward($_POST['hash'],$_POST['sendto'],$_POST['gdrive_forward']);
break; } ?>
===============================================
but at least, I've tried uploading a file, and when finished the process, the
page diplays:
===========
Not Found
The requested URL /gdrive/< was not found on this server.
===========
Anyway, the file arrived in my Gmail inbox, but the problem is, when I
logged in
back again, I didn't find the file with the gdrive script, so I can't
download it.
Would anyone please go to this page:
http://sigssz.spymac.net/gdrive
to login and take a look at the situation? As I'm poor in English, I'm
afraid this
is better than my description.
Who: u24
When: February 28th, 2005
Says: You need to contact spymac.net and ask them why the page is not recognising PHP files. The problem is that the server is sending the raw PHP code back to the browser, where it should actually be running the script first.

how can you be sure that this app was the cause? - I'm quite willing to believe google would do this, but not without harder proof.
AFAIK, no-one else has had this problem.
Who:
When: February 28th, 2005
Says: Maybe I just got lucky for being the first. I will try to login again in 24 hours from now. Further I was not using any other app. When I tried to upload a file it only loaded 7 of 8 parts, so I deleted those and started over. After reloading I got a list with 1 of 5 files followed by a list of 1 of 4 files which was strange. I then deleted those and tried to reload the file but could not login, so I tried to login to the gmail web client and got the above referenced lockdown message.
Who: u24
When: February 28th, 2005
Says: odd. sometimes the mail daemon onthis server is a little slow, which might explain why the last chunk didn't come through..
I've done a small amount of research on gmail 'lockdowns', and they mostly seem to come about as a result of using gMail notifier, or logging in from different locations at the same time.
I'll wait and see if my account gets blocked....
Sorry if it is this app!
Who:
When: February 28th, 2005
Says: I was running the gmail notifier for another gmail account, that must be it. I said I was not running another app, I thought this to be in reference to the "GMail Drive shell extension 1.0.5 from Softpedia" which might conflict with your app. Sorry for not mentioning gmail notifier earlier. I appreciate your prompt responses as well.

I think you're the only person to recognise the potential of the no-title browser - there's been no other comments about it (I thought it was cool, too)
glad you enjoyed it :-)
Who:
When: March 2nd, 2005
Says: Hello, it's me again. just an idea... when you go to download a file that has been put into your gDrive, if there is a space in the file name, it ruins the name as you download it and you must rename it. I am by no means a whiz at any coding... but is it even possible to download multi word file names correctly w/o having to fix the name? Or is it possible this is a glitch w/ Firefox?
Another thought. Is it possible to have another access code added to the scripting that would allow just myself (and whomever I share the code w/) access to my gDrive. I realize the gmail password is necessary, but I'm not fond of the idea of just some random person jumping in off the net and using my bandwidth on my site... does that even make sense?
hmmm, okay, one other thing as far as style goes... for any clickable function to do w/ the gDrive, instead of having a regular link to click on, can you make it a button such as the "Browse" or "Upload" button? What I mean specifically, is can you make the "Logout" a button as well? It would add to the continuity of it all anyway.
I think that's all for now... would you mind checking my drive again, and seeing if what I've done is alright? If you'd like it back how it was... just email me eh? (PS, I have no desire to take credit for any of your work. period)
Who:
When: March 3rd, 2005
Says: GMail had blocked the account I used (just once) with your Gdrive.
Who:
When: March 3rd, 2005
Says: hi, I think you did a pretty neat job here :)
It gave me an idea that you may want to work on. With gmail as a remoted file server you can actually create an adress translater to download files from any common webpage :
you provide an adress like
http://www.puremango.co.uk/gdrive/openfile.php?log=bob1234?pass=superman?fileid=Hffsse54etert344t5654645
and then your script would provide the file directly by opening the gmail account etc...
Of course you would need a ''gmail public account''
I think this would work great for sharing pictures: we can imagine a programme that generate an image gallery webpage where all the pictures would be stored on a gmail account. Or anything else....
see u

Who: u24
When: March 3rd, 2005
Says: jeranon: anything you do with gDrive is fine by me - that's why I provided source code :-) I'll investigate the space issue. I'm sure I've downloaded files with spaces before, but I'll check.
You can use the simple password script I wrote (in completed projects) to protect the index page. I'll build an access password into the next version
pilou: yeah, this kind of feature is coming in the next version (whenever I get round to it) - but without giving away your gMail password
errandrea: this has happened before, but not always. I don't think google would block you after just one use (especially considering that 99.9% of gDrive users haven't got blocked at all)
Are you using any other unofficial gMail tools?

from u24:
I think this -might- be because your server doesn't support gzip extensions.. maybe.
Who:
When: March 3rd, 2005
Says: Alright, some more design ideas for the next version... it's too bad I know nothing about php or I'd do it and see what you thought... but here we go:
If you enter in a wrong password, instead of taking you to the gdrive.php page, it should keep you at the login page. Along those same lines, it is possible with this program for someone to add files to your accounts w/o need for a password of any sort. this is possible 2 ways, first of all, using the "forward" option, and the secondly is just uploading it straight to the other person's account once you've signed on to the gdrive. Both ways are traceable, as in you can see what account sent them to you. Just observations that don't necessarily need anything done about them.
Another thought occured to me, is it possible for you to write scripting to join multiple accounts together on one drive? Once one account is full, it starts on the next one, or something like that. I'm a glutton for free space, and have about 40 gmail accounts that I'm using w/ gdrive (not all in use yet, but getting there). It would be handy to have some sort of pull down menu maybe that you could select the account you want to save to. or a script that would be able to say how much space is left over all and how much is used total? Does that make sense?
My last idea is with the file forwarding, can the forwarded files have a different label? that way at a glance, I'm able to see what are my own original files, and what are files that have been added by someone possibly spamming me.
Again, great program, and the only reason I have so much to say is because I use it all the time now. It's a marvel as it is, and any of the above would only make it more stunning. Peace

Three suggestions:
1.- Make this an executable file instead of having to put it on a server.
2.- Possibility of being able to upload more than one file at the time.
3.- Possibility to edit the name of the email subject (ie: remove the word "gdrive") so that there is less evidence of the origin of the email.
Thanks for your work btw
Who: Jeranon
When: March 7th, 2005
Says: (I'm not the guy you're even writing to, but here's what I think...)
1 - there's already an exe program out there. this has more versatility and is accessible from anywhere in the world
2 -Yeah... I agree...
3 -It's not supposed to be an emailing client... it's a gdrive... I mean... I see what you're getting at, but if that's what you want, just send yourself an email w/ whatever title you want... it's a quicker upload too.
Who: u24
When: March 7th, 2005
Says: yeah, agree with jeranon on 1 & 2 (plus having it web accessible makes it multi-OS - so even mac users can use it)
with point 3, it needs to have gDrive in the subject so that you can use your gDrive account as a normal email account as well.
You can always change 'gDrive' for something else in the source code; change the SUBJECT_PREFIX constant in config.php..

Says: For the record, mine seems to work alright. I uploaded a 19 MB file today to try going past the 10 MB limit imposed by gmail. Not a problem. The only thing that I noticed is it took a bloody long time to upload. Maybe you just didn't wait long enough? I will say that when I was uploading and it said "sending request to http://jeranon.com/" the status bar didn't move with the upload of the file. Did you perhaps think your computer froze or something and you just didn't allow enough time for the upload?

Who: u24
When: March 15th, 2005
Says: ok, all you need to do is:
-unzip source to a directory on your computer
-create a directory on your web host called gDrive (or another name, it doesn't matter)
-open config.php with notepad or other text editor (but not MS-Word)
-change this line in config.php:
define("GDRIVE_LOCATION","http://puremango.co.uk/gdrive",true);
to
define("GDRIVE_LOCATION","pathtoyourwebhost",true);
so, if your website address was http://mystuff.blah.com
and your gdrive directory was called "fish"
the config.php line should look like this:
define("GDRIVE_LOCATION","http://mystuff.blah.com/fish",true);
-upload all files to your host.
-create a folder on your webhost, inside the gDrive folder, called 'tmp'
-change permissions of that folder to rwxrwxrwx, or 777

What I've done is simply including the adress and pw in the php code, and hidden delete, forward, and upload.
Unfortunately, this script keeps you logged in to the gmail-account, meaning that if someone visits your admin-gdrive-page (the regular gdrive-page) they gain normal gdrive access without having to type in the pw or username. If anyone comes up with a solution to avoid this please let me know.
If you want to give this a try you have to rewrite some of the code a bit:
1) Change the line "function g_display_files()" in functions.php to "function g_display_files($type)"
2) Replace

by the way... so far i made only philosophical studies (my degree!) and I am right now approaching PHP. Could you please answer my basic question: how do I install your gdrive code?
I found a php hosting service... I simply copied the file you provide in my space, without other changes!
It works until i try to upload files... but when I click on the "upload button" it seems to upload the file... but it does not!
The first time i was redirected to your 404 page. Then I tried to change the link to your site in the config.php file with my address... but no upload!
What should I do to install your code in the right way?
Thank you very much!!!

The interface is finished and beautiful, and the features will include public and private files, you'll be able to allow users to upload or download or delete public files (your choice), they'll be given a password to access gDrive(different to your gMail password), and I might modify it to be able to connect to any POP email server, but that's a big maybe.

when you upload, php will store the entire file in your server's temp folder, from there, gDrive will copy parts of the file, with extra data, into its tmp folder, then it'll send each of the parts to gMail, then it'll delete the parts of the files from its temp folder.

ok, you can't download directly from gmail - what's sent to gMail is compressed and altered parts of your files, which gDrive sorts back out into the original when you download it via gDrive. as far as creating an application to decode .gdf files - I've written one, it's called gDrive.
the encrypt function isn't used; I planned to include it, but never got round to figuring out the mcrypt PHP functions. maybe next version.

there will be two folders in 0.7; public and private (self explanatory). I might add the ability to add other folders, but the problem is that I don't want to make it into a database application. Adding folders would almost certainly require a modification of the index, which would mean it wouldn't be compatible with 0.6.

I have seen this problem before, but am not sure how to fix it; the problem is with libgmailer's use of dynamically loaded extensions; try enabling php_curl.dll in php.ini
dgknox:
to set up is very simple; just change config.php to reflect your server's settings (only very simple things like the URL of your site) and then upload all the files to your webhost (the free one listed will work)
it's not very fast, but this will depend on your connection speed (of course)
it can't be mapped as a desktop drive, but gmailFS can; search google for it

I'm not sure how gmailFS works, and don't have a computer connected to the net that I can test on (all gDrive development is done on shared machines which are locked down pretty tightly), that is a very cool idea but probably won't make it into 0.7.. possibly in a future version

- the file won't upload if the file name has ' (apostrophe) in it
-after upload, the page will stuck at the "The page cannot be displayed" error page in IE, the page won't refresh it self.
to improve:
-it would be great to have upload dialog box at the top if you have a lot to upload, later you have to go up the page to see if you uploaded successfully or not and come down again for another upload. (or vice-versa)
-since downloading from gmail inbox affect the integrity of the file damaging it, the forward function's advantages are limited as forwarding also end up downloading from Inbox. If this hassale could be overcame with little use of resources from server and included in public side page, it will be a great benefit to all.
since I am using the 100webspace and don't have the previlige of .htaccess, I can't upload files larger than 10mb and don't know much about issues involving uploading larger files now.

You can use someone else's gDrive page to upload files larger than 10Mb (if their server supports it) but you can't guaruntee that they haven't modified it to store your gmail password.

Says: 100webspace limitation.
I think the website has a limitation on the script memory of 8MB. Here is some info on script memory. Though they are not answering for our gdrive's issue, I have came to conclusion that it might be the case.
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Languages/PHP/Q_21066345.html
I have tried
ini_set("memory_limit","20M");
in 100webspace site but it doesn't work.(The admin at the site has prevent that for the site's own benefit.)
Before I go further to tell my humble opinion, I would like to admit that "I am total stranger to PHP and how the web site run". So if I ever get to the unwise conclusion that is far away from the facts, please forgive me.
Since 100webspace is not allowing us more than 8MB, I have changed the number 7340032 [7MB?] to 8388608[8MB] in config.php thus saving time processing splitting file larger than larger than 7MB and smaller then 8MB. I have tried 10485760[10MB], which is gmail limitation, but it doesn't work. So the max upload limit at 100webspace is 8MB.
I have asked help from some people, who has site with the previlige of no such limitation. [ I wanna say thanks to the person here again. ] after some failure with corruption, I finally manage to upload files. I have uploaded 75MB and 15MB files first. Since I am not using 100webspace, the config will be default [I believe as the gmail attachment show ~7MB file size], the 75MB produce 11 parts in gmail while the 15MB produce 3 parts. I try to download them from 100webspace, downloading 75MB file give server internal error page on Opera browser, while I can download 15MB file successfully. I want to see the integrity of the 75MB file and download it from the website where I upload it. It takes awhile for the site to stitch the parts back to be a complete file before it start downloading the file. The file does not lost its integrity however I have to change it back to its original extention and file name as the firefox download it as "action" without file extension. [please forgive my inconsistent usage of browser, as I have been testing on two website simultaneously] [I also found out that it happens with some other smaller files also when using firefox and the firefox will also give you disfigure layout] Then I upload file of 27MB using the other website. It gives out 4 parts and I can download it successfully from 100 webspace. Then I push the limit and upload 37MB files, which end up as 36MB on gdrive and give out 5 parts in gmail. When I download it from 100webspace, it give me server internal error page on Opera browser.
So to summerize all
100webspace has:
upload limitation:8MB
download limitation:27MB or 4 parts [wonder if will be raised if the config.php got changed to raise the partition size to 8MB]
Firefox is not the browser for gDrive 0.6 .
So if you can find site where you can upload for temp, you can upload file upto 27MB or 4 partition and later you can use 100webspace to download them saving the bandwith of the other site.
In doing this experiment, I have uploaded the files I want to upload and observing the nature [no junk file]. I have used up around 400MB of bandwith [uploading and downloading,downloading is to check file integrity] of that particular site. Thanks again to the site owner.

Then to make it better, the bar can include dynamic message to say "1MB is uploaded," "2MB is uploaded," ... "The file is being split/archived.", "The parts are being sent/email to yourself."
The web interface can be all browser friendly (Opera included, of course. :) )

www.epcgaming.org/filecenter/index.php
It uses Gdrive, but deletes and adds some function to allow everyone to upload and download files (not delete or forward) and I added categories (different gmail accounts) and multiple file upload.
It's working very well for us.
Thanks for the script u24
P.S. this is not meant as a advert for epcgaming but I just would like to show some new way to use the script.

You sure should have told us about gdrive earlier. :)
5gigs Rock! (until now)
u24, I notice that I have to wait for some time for the page to load completely, mostly the page is loading a bunch of images. Then I realized that it is because you have converted all the email address to an image. Eventhough it is a really cool idea, when you have around 80 images on FAQ sites , it is taking around 45seconds to load the page which should be done within 15 seconds or so. just some observation. you also ROCK!!!

from u24:
yeah, I keep meaning to amend it to only convert to image if there's an @ sign..
ok, that's done :-) hope it loads faster now

When you see the following error with subsequent errors,
Warning: fopen(./tmp/xxxxxxxxx.rar.gdf103c771402f1a5f2): failed to open stream: Not such rows or directory in/home/www/gigando234.cogia.net/libgmailer.php on lines 449
you should check if you have the tmp folder in the folder where you put all gdrive php file.
The tmp file permission must be 777 or everything allowed for everybody(i.e read, write, execute for everybody). It is the case for me getting that errors.

Could I say that this is not a point anymore in 0.7 u24??? :P

You don't have the curl extension installed on your PHP host. This means Gdrive won't run on it, find another host.

When: June 22nd, 2005
Says: I'm sorry but that is not possible, see: Gdrive splits files into chunks and renames them to another extension, then they get saved as an attachment with in the subject line, the subject prefix.
but, when you download from gdrive, the extension gets removed, and the chunks are put together and then you can download. the script would get nervous if you would download an attachment which is not a chunk and not the proper extension.
I might be wrong though :-)

Many apologies for not being around to answer questions recently; exams at uni, 2 week holiday in Greece and now working full time again have meant gDrive has been pushed far onto the back burner.
I do intend to get it done as soon as I can, but I just can't dedicate the time right now :-(
On the technical front, it seems google are going to continue changing the login system, so I'm considering a new approach to login (not using libgmailer, instead using POP3/SMTP), but again, this will push back release of 0.7 even further.
keep checking back, I appreciate your support :-)

I have not checked if gdrive0.6 work anymore or not. if it is still working. please release 0.7 as it is without major change like switching to POP. that kinda change should be for version 2.0 because it is complete different engine. if u can do that it would be great because we can migrate to yahoo also. One thing I don't like about gmail is their privacy policy which is very controversial. how ever i think it is better to do a parallel project. hmmm.... shoulda learn php a bit and trick u with 'help', get a beta code for myself. :D so 0.6 still works?
