so f/devs i have a question for you i have 1TB of wedding footage to download from photographer i have 2 macbooks: both have 100gb available i have 1.7TB space in google drive. i have no hard drives. i need to download these files ASAP, ideally skipping local storage wat do??
Also naturally the file bucket UI is travesty and very difficult to navigate for this task
Mount the Google Drive as NFS and save the file there. If the NFS abstraction is done properly, your local storage is never needed. For example, this might work: https://cloudmounter.net
You could ask the photographer to use @feross's wormhole.app
I recommend you download and store these images on an external hard drive anywhere. Your Google account can be compromised and/or your Google account terminated for violating TOS Imo buy an external hard drive and have your photographer store on there. Or ask them to buy one and invoice you for the cost
I recommend you buy and store these images on an external hard drive anyway. Your Google account can be compromised, and/or your account shut down for violating terms of service. Buy and send a hard drive to your photographer, or ask them to buy one and invoice you.
1TB? from a photographer? damn, tell him to re-export them fr, there's literally no reason for it if it is 1TB, he must be giving you every single raw file if that's not an option, buy a 2TB hard drive
give them $50, tell em to buy 1tb ssd, dump all files, send ssd with pigeon
Try using Keet p2p you and the photographer and set download location to google drive
i've taken the hardest route possible, which is installing stuff via terminal and then running some rclone commands to mount both drives then copy the entire item directly from one to the other with rclone copy
buy a drive. every store has it these days -- target, walmart, etc. etc. and also 1 day amazon delivery if you can wait a day. upload at leisure. simplest path
In my experience, 90% of the footage is duplicative. Browse online then save what you want.
i was able to mount this stupid remote disk using terminal, macfuse, and rclone! now i can just duplicate straight into drive!! hahaaa! also ordering 4TB hard drive
