Application Purpose

About Batuhan's Public Drive and how it works

Batuhan's Public Drive is a web application created to provide users with a streamlined, responsive interface to browse, view, download, and manage files stored in Google Drive.

The primary purpose of this application is to serve as an accessible web companion for the open-source CDrive tool, enabling:

  • Public & Private File Browsing: Exploring folder structures and viewing file metadata without requiring third-party desktop client installations.
  • Direct File Streaming & Downloads: Downloading individual files or entire folders as compressed ZIP archives directly from Google Drive.
  • Drive File Management: Allowing authorized users to upload, organize, and sync files with their Google Drive storage.
