Google Drive - show shared-with-me files alongside normal files in mount?

Feature
1

I know there exists a flag --drive-shared-with-me which shows files shared with you in your drive, but is there anyway to show these files alongside your normal files (i.e. something akin to how google-drive-ocamlfuse puts these into a .shared folder)? Or do I have to mount these two separately?

might read about combine remote with two gdrive remotes.
one with shared_with_me and one without shared_with_me

I'm sorry, what exactly does this mean? Do you mean just mounting the shared-with-me and normal files in two separate places?

[gdrive_shared]
type = drive
shared_with_me = true

[gdrive]
type = drive

[combine]
type = combine
upstreams = .shared=gdrive_shared: gdrive=gdrive: 

rclone lsd combine: -v
          -1 2024-06-15 10:56:04        -1 .shared
          -1 2024-06-15 10:56:04        -1 gdrive

Thank you! This seems to work perfectly.

Maybe dumb: but is there anyway to have the .shared file inside of my main gdrive file? Or would this unavoidably mess up syncing and have rclone upload the .shared file to my main drive?

the solution i shared is very simple to use and understand.
a more complex solution might be possible, but sounds like trouble, as sync will delete files.

if you plan to copy files between the two remotes, might add server_side_across_configs to both remotes.

Fair enough.

Thanks for the tip.
