Adding an option for non empty directory

[hdavy2002]

Hello folk,

I have some directories that are not empty and I need to mount them. I get an error and I get an option to add '-o nonempty' to my command, however it does not work for me.

I checked the options for google-drive-ocamlfuse and there was nothing in there for nonempty dir.

Is there any other way to get around this?

Best

-o nonempty should work. Do you still get an error adding it?

Hi. I used "google-drive-ocamlfuse -label myname /home/gdrive -o nonempty".
But this command deleting my existing files .

Is there a way to not delete but sync all together.?

Not really. Your files are temporarily hidden by the mounted file system. When you unmount it, they will be available again.

No, you cannot merge an existing directory (on your local file system) with a FUSE file system. This is actually not a sync application, but it gives you a local view of your remote files on GDrive.
