rclone-mount.bash

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Use rclone to mount a shared google drive directory into my disk.
#
# Assumed you already created a readonly gdrive rclone config.
# Assumed you already added your access token or you authenticated the rclone config with your drive.
# Check the rclone docs for more info: https://rclone.org/drive/
# You don't have to assign everything, usually I leave everything empty and I use my browser to authenticate.

# the rclone config name
rclone_config_name="EmbeddedLinuxDiploma"
# the path to the shared directory on your drive
drive_shared_path="/EL 2023"
# where to mount on your disk

# check if the path is already mounted
