Comment on Show HN: FUSE filesystem for Google Drive written in OCaml

Comments

That's seems like a neat app! How did you handle the concurrent remote-access on the files? Is there a way for the user applications to be warned when you receive an operational transformation? I'm implementing a fuse filesystem for a similar webapp and I thought it would be impossible for an editor that hasn't be designed for that to deal with the concurrent modifications, even if the filesystem can handle it.

Conflict resolution is not very sofisticated. You can choose to always take server side version (the default) or client side version (see https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse/wiki/Confi...). My main use case is a single user working on the client or on the server. So the scenario is not of a collaborative app.
