## What it is
Plexdrive is a Go CLI tool that mounts a Google Drive account as a read-only FUSE filesystem, optimized for media streaming with Plex. It supports reading and deleting files but not writes, with chunked caching to reduce API quota issues.

## Use cases
- mount google drive as local filesystem
- stream media from google drive with plex
- avoid google drive api quota errors
- read-only fuse mount of cloud storage
- serve plex library from google drive

## When to choose
- you stream media from Google Drive via Plex and hit rclone quota errors
- you need a read-only mount with chunk read-ahead caching

## When to avoid
- you need to write or modify files on the mount
- you need a general-purpose cloud storage mount rather than media streaming

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: file-system, caching, http-client
- domain: cloud-computing, media, self-hosted
- platform: cli
- tags: linux
