Google Drive - Mirage

The Google Drive resource exposes a Google Drive account as a virtual filesystem mounted at some prefix such as /gdrive/. For Google OAuth setup, see Google Workspace Setup.

Config

import os

from mirage import MountMode, Workspace
from mirage.resource.gdrive import GoogleDriveConfig, GoogleDriveResource

config = GoogleDriveConfig(
    client_id=os.environ["GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID"],
    client_secret=os.environ["GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET"],
    refresh_token=os.environ["GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN"],
)
resource = GoogleDriveResource(config=config)
ws = Workspace({"/gdrive": resource}, mode=MountMode.READ)

Filesystem Layout

/gdrive/
  <folder>/
    <file>
    <subfolder>/
      ...
    <name>.gdoc.json
    <name>.gsheet.json
    <name>.gslide.json
  <shared-drive>/
    <file>
    <folder>/

Example:

/gdrive/
  Projects/
    spec.pdf
    roadmap.gsheet.json
    Budget/
      Q1.gsheet.json
      Q2.gsheet.json
  Notes/
    meeting.gdoc.json
  Presentations/
    quarterly_review.gslide.json
  Team Drive/
    shared-spec.pdf
  data.csv
  report.pdf

The mount mirrors the actual Google Drive folder hierarchy. The root contains the Drive API root folder plus each Shared Drive visible to the user. Shared Drives appear as top-level directories. Duplicate names receive a [Shared Drive] suffix and, when needed, a numeric suffix. Subfolders appear as directories, and regular files keep their original names.

Synthetic Extensions

Google Workspace files cannot be downloaded as raw bytes, so they are exposed with synthetic extensions and read via their respective APIs:

Extension	Type	Read via
`.gdoc.json`	Google Docs	Docs API
`.gsheet.json`	Google Sheets	Sheets API
`.gslide.json`	Google Slides	Slides API

Regular files (PDFs, images, CSVs, etc.) are downloaded directly from Drive. Large regular files use streaming.

Cache

The Google Drive resource uses IndexCacheStore (same as Slack, Gmail, and other resources). Index entries store folder IDs, file IDs, and file metadata. There is no separate content cache — file content caching is handled by the workspace IOResult mechanism.

Example

import asyncio
import os

from dotenv import load_dotenv

from mirage import MountMode, Workspace
from mirage.resource.gdrive import GoogleDriveConfig, GoogleDriveResource

load_dotenv(".env.development")

config = GoogleDriveConfig(
    client_id=os.environ["GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID"],
    client_secret=os.environ["GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET"],
    refresh_token=os.environ["GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN"],
)
resource = GoogleDriveResource(config=config)


async def main():
    ws = Workspace({"/gdrive": resource}, mode=MountMode.READ)

    # List root
    r = await ws.execute("ls /gdrive/ | head -n 10")
    print(await r.stdout_str())

    # Browse a subfolder
    r = await ws.execute("ls /gdrive/Projects/")
    print(await r.stdout_str())

    # Read a regular file
    r = await ws.execute("cat /gdrive/Projects/spec.pdf | head -c 200")
    print(await r.stdout_str())

    # Read a Google Doc title
    r = await ws.execute('jq ".title" /gdrive/Notes/meeting.gdoc.json')
    print(await r.stdout_str())

    # Read a Google Sheet title
    r = await ws.execute(
        'jq ".properties.title" /gdrive/Projects/roadmap.gsheet.json')
    print(await r.stdout_str())

    # Read a Google Slides deck length
    r = await ws.execute(
        'jq ".slides | length"'
        " /gdrive/Presentations/quarterly_review.gslide.json")
    print(await r.stdout_str())

    # Search across all files
    r = await ws.execute('rg "quarterly" /gdrive/Projects/')
    print(await r.stdout_str())

    # Tree view
    r = await ws.execute("tree -L 2 /gdrive/")
    print(await r.stdout_str())

    # Create a new Google Doc
    r = await ws.execute(
        "gws-docs-documents-create"
        ' --json \'{"title": "New Doc from MIRAGE"}\'')
    print(await r.stdout_str())


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
