#sudo chmod 660 /dev/fuse

4. Install Google Drive Ocamlfuse

# su <user>
# opam init
# opam update
# opam install depext
# eval `opam config env`
# opam depext google-drive-ocamlfuse
# opam install google-drive-ocamlfuse
# . /home/<user>/.opam/opam-init/init.sh > /dev/null 2> /dev/null || true

#/home/<user>/.opam/system/bin/google-drive-ocamlfuse -headless -label googledrive -id <OAuth Client ID> -secret <OAuth Client Secret>

It will give you one url ask you to visit that url and get the code from the webpage and provide it



Open that url in browser and copy paste  the verification code to termianl

create mount point

# mkdir /mnt/Google-drive

#  /home/<user>/.opam/system/bin/google-drive-ocamlfuse -label googledrive /mnt/Google-drive/

Above command will enable that mount only for the user and not others not even root

To enable mount point for user root

edit file /etc/fuse.conf and uncomment below line

#user_allow_other

Then run below command ( In case of ubuntu  exclude sudo -u <user> and run command directly as root.)

#sudo -u <user> /home/<user>/.opam/system/bin/google-drive-ocamlfuse -o allow_root -label googledrive /Google-drive/ > /var/log/gdrive_mount.log 2>&1 &

Add below line (/etc/rc.local)

sudo -u  <user> /home/<user>/.opam/system/bin/google-drive-ocamlfuse -o allow_root -label googledrive /Google-drive/  2>$1  & 

Thus only user and root will be able to use mounted drive.
