+==========================
+Mount Google Drive from CU
+==========================
+
+Install:
+********
+
+Reference : `globus for linux <https://docs.globus.org/how-to/globus-connect-personal-linux>`_
+
+Install the google drive app from opam::
+
+   opam init
+   # Answer y to question then
+   eval `opam config env`
+   opam install google-drive-ocamlfuse
+
+   mkdir /home/$(whoami)/google_drive
+
+The last step, requires X11 forwarding available (use ssh -Y server) within
+the campus. It will open firefox remotely on the server (painfully slow). 
+Don't try this at home, connection behind vpn is even slower...::
+
+   google-drive-ocamlfuse /home/$(whoami)/google_drive
+
+
+log in with your university email/password, authorize,...
+and you're all set!
+
+Usage:
+******
+
+Your linux system will interact with your google drive like a local disk.
+
+Troubleshooting:
+****************
+
+If your command line freezes on ls $HOME or similar. You need to ask admin
+to unmount::
+
+   sudo umount -f /home/$(whoami)/google_drive
+
+then you can remount the drive::
+
+   google-drive-ocamlfuse /home/$(whoami)/google_drive
