thanks. actually I now recall getting this far but for some reason 
(perhaps distraction) didn't go further. they had just introduced it.

will look at it.

this is some kind of app?

this is not for mounting the drive in Linux. to do that you have to 
use a complicated job called ocamlfuse 
<http://www.tecmint.com/mount-google-drive-in-linux-using-google-drive-ocamlfuse-client/3/>

it requires several minutes of compilation. it works fine on one 
laptop but I haven't gotten it to compile on one of other laptop.

well, there are other possibilities out there but research time for 
this stuff is scarce, for now one laptop is good enough.

thank you for the ideas! it's like a free lunch of insights!
