Share my space in Google Drive - file-upload

Excuse me, i have a Google Drive account and it has unlimited storage. But i want to share space of my google drive storage to my friend. And i'm use the share to a folder of mine so my friend can edit or upload the files. But when he upload his files, his google drive space is reduced instead. So my question how i can give my space for him but did not reduce his space.
Sorry for my bad english. i'm still learning.

create a folder in your google drive. under folder sharing, select their name/email and set to "can edit".
your friend should log in to their google drive and click on "shared with me" and open the shared folder. they should be able to upload/edit etc as normal, with files being stored under your account, not theirs.

I can't remove a folder from the sync list because I'm using too much space

I have a 1tb SSD for my OS hard drive and then a regular HD as a second hard drive. OneDrive appears to default to my Users/OneDrive folder and doesn't seem to have a way to change that. So what I've done is I created a symlink from the OneDrive folder to my second HD where I have 700+ MB of family pictures and videos. OneDrive doesn't realize this is what I've done so it sees that my SSD has more than 1TB of used space because it thinks all the pictures and videos are stored there. I can't stop syncing some of the other folders in one drive because of that. I have a few folders in OneDrive that I don't really need or want on my computer so I'd like to tell my computer to ignore those folders but because OneDrive thinks I'm syncing more data than my SSD can hold it won't let me stop syncing those folders. Does anyone know what I can do to stop syncing those folders?

How to permanently upload files onto Google Colab such that it can be directly accessed by multiple people?

My friend and I are working on a project together on Google Colab for which we require a dataset but we keep running into the same problem while uploading it.
What we're doing right now is uploading onto drive and giving each other access and then mounting gdrive each time. This becomes time consuming and irritating as we need to authorize and mount each time.
Is there a better way so that the we can upload the dataset to the home directory and directly access it each time? Or is that not possible because we're assessed a different machine(?) each time?
If you create a new notebook, you can set it to mount automatically, no need to authenticate every time.
See this demo.

How to upload and download media files using GUNDB?

I'm trying to use GUN to create a File sharing platform. I read the tutorial and API but I couldn't find a general way to upload/download a file.
I hear that there is a limitation of 5Mb of localStorage in GUN, if I want to upload a large file, I have to slice it then storage it into GUN. But right now I can't find a way to storage file into GUN.
I read the question from Retric and I know how to store the image into GUN, but can I store the other type of Files such as .zip or .doc File? Is there a general API for file storage?
I wrote a quick little app in 35 lines of HTML to demonstrates file sharing for images, videos, sound, etc.
https://github.com/amark/gun/blob/master/examples/basic/upload.html
I've sent 20MB files thru it, tho yeah, I'm sure there is a better way of splitting it up into 2MB chunks - that is currently not automatic, you'd have to code it.
We'll have a feature in the future that will automatically split up video files. Do you want to help with this?
I think on the download side, all you have to do is make sure you have the whole file (stitch it back together if you do write a splitter upper), and add it to some <a href=" target. Actually, I'm not sure exactly how, but I know browsers support download file attributes for a few years now, where you can create a download link even of a in-memory file... but you'll have to search online for how. Then please write a tutorial and share it with the community!!
I would recommend using IPFS for file storage and GUN to store the links to those files. GUN isn't meant for file storage I believe, primarily user/graph data. Thus the 5 MB limitation.

Can I create an application which ask for user's gdrive id and password, and than upload files from local computer to gdrive automatically?

Yes, I get it what I am asking for is exactly how gdrive works, in fact coping multiple files is also a simple ctrl+A and drag and drop. But still humor me, can I use gdrive API to ask for end user's ID and Password, and it uploads certain files in the user gdrive. The files it would upload is basically already hardcoded, like all the pdf files from a certain directory.
I am an undergrad student and really not familiar with the workings of API, so thank you for any and all help.
Yes you can!
Start with the quickstart on your favorite language and then reference this documentation to understand how to upload a file.
Hope this helps!

Can Robocopy Copy Only ADS (Alternate Data Streams) ? i.e. Not Re-Copy the Data/Security

I'm not sure I really understand ADS, but it seems that a file has a main one then potentially more. Well, I ran a program and discovered that my source drive has about 700 ADS more than what the destination drive has after performing a robocopy.
I know that robocopy can copy ADS, since I started with a blank drive, then scanned with an ADS scanner revealing the ADSes of robocopied files.
So, can someone help clear up the confusion? Can I use robocopy to copy only an ADS? How do I get the number of ADS on each volume to match exactly?
