Gocci

Why this exists

The internal disk was full, so Google Drive had to live on an external one. No tool would do it.

Google's own app

You cannot choose where it mounts. It lands on the internal disk, which had 42 GB free.

Mountain Duck

Its docs say a custom mount location is not honoured on macOS — it is always ~/Library/CloudStorage.

CloudMounter

The location is yours to pick. But every file you ever opened through a share link is listed at the top of the drive, with no setting to hide them.

What Gocci does

Mounts anywhere

An external disk, or any folder you like. It mounts at login, and waits for the disk if it is not plugged in yet.

No kernel extension

It runs on rclone's NFS mount. Nothing to install, nothing to approve, no reboot. Just the app.

No shared items

Files other people shared with you are not listed. What you see matches My Drive in the browser.

Finder shows what is local

A badge per file: cloud only, downloading, or fully here. Right-click to send one back to the cloud.

What it looks like

A mark in the menu bar is all that stays on screen. The settings fit on one panel.

How it works

rclone serves NFS on localhost and macOS mounts it. Files come down when you open them and stay in a cache. How long they stay, and how large the cache may grow, are yours to set.

  • Writing works as usual — copy and delete from Finder
  • Google Docs appear as .webloc files and open in the browser
  • rclone ships inside the app, pinned to a version that was tested by hand

Getting started

  1. 01

    Install

    Download the DMG and drag Gocci into Applications. The first launch is met with an "unidentified developer" warning — allow it from System Settings → Privacy & Security.

  2. 02

    Connect Drive

    Create a drive remote with rclone config, and make your own client ID while you are there (rclone's shared one stops working during 2026).

  3. 03

    Pick the place

    Choose the mount point in Gocci's settings. From then on it mounts there every time you log in.
