Next.js Google Drive Index
Google Drive index built with Next.js for easier sharing files to public
next-gdrive-index is a Google Drive directory index. The aim of this project is to simplify the process of sharing files using Google Drive, and also add some features that I think is useful when sharing files.#Why I Made This?
TLDR;
It is cheaper to use Google Drive than other similar service
There are a lot cloud storage service like Onedrive, Dropbox, Mega, etc.
But, between all those service, I think Google Drive is a lot cheaper than others (at least in my region).

Here are the pricing comparison between free and cheapest plan
Price are converted to IDR, since it's easier for me to compare this using my own currency

* Price are in USD, and there are no regional price for IDR
** There are no 2TB plan

By using this data, I picked Google Drive instead other service.
I know there are a lot of people selling cheap education account especially for Google Drive and Onedrive, but most of the time those account doesn't last long.

#Known Issues
##File Size Limit
This only apply ifmaxFileSizeis enabled / more than 0
You need to set the file sharing permission to
Anyone with the link can view on the root folder.Why?
The download link will be redirected if the file you're trying to download is bigger than the
If you don't set the permission, people can't access or download the file.
The download link will be redirected if the file you're trying to download is bigger than the
maxFileSize, and most of platform are limiting the response body size (ex: Vercel limit is 4MB).If you don't set the permission, people can't access or download the file.
This will expose the file ID, and people can access the file directly from Google Drive.
But it only apply to the file, and they can't see or browse the folder directly from Google Drive.

##No Support for Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides
For now, I don't have any plan to implement this because I'm not using it.
If you think you can implement it, feel free to create a PR! ;)

##Can't Seek on Audio and Video preview
Fixed on v2.0.2
##Shared Drive is not supported
Implemented by @loadingthedev (PR #4)
##Not Supporting File / Folder Shortcut
Google Drive will give different ID for the shortcut and the actual target itself.
Might need to change the way I fetch files to support this

#Things Might Be Implemented
Here are things that I want, and might be implemented on the future
##Internationalization / i18n
It should be a good idea to have the site and deploying guide with multiple language support.
##Multiple Drive
It's either from multiple Google Drive account with multiple Service Account, or a basic single Google Drive account with multiple root start point either in their own Drive or Shared Drive
##Authentication
Probably a good feature if you are a content creator that only want the one who subscribed to you get the files.
It might need a database, but idk if I can implement it without the need of database
