Expanding Google Drive Storage with Google Cloud Service Accounts
Step 1: Create Multiple Service Accounts
Automate the creation of multiple Google Cloud service accounts using scripts available on GitHub. Each service account can provide its own storage allocation.
Step 2: Install the Required Python Library
Install the sadrive
Python library, which helps you manage and aggregate storage across your service accounts.
Step 3: Configure and Use the Tool
Follow the instructions in the relevant GitHub repository to set up your service account credentials and integrate them with sadrive
. These guides typically walk you through placing your .json
key files in the correct folder and running the tool to access combined storage.
Tip:
Video tutorials are available online to help you create service accounts and configure everything properly. If you follow all steps correctly, you can potentially access up to 17 TiB of combined storage per Gmail account by aggregating multiple service accounts.
Important Note:
This method utilizes Google Cloud’s service account infrastructure and third-party tools to combine storage. Always review and comply with Google Cloud’s Terms of Service and Google Drive API Usage Limits. Use these methods responsibly and primarily for educational or personal purposes.
