Create a secure folder in libreelec to sync data from Google Drive

televisi · August 14, 2017 at 1:48 PM

Hi,

I'd like to sync my photos from Google Photos (in Google Drive) to a secure folder in libreelec; the requirements are:

- To access the secure folder, I need to punch in a password / similar method to ssh public key

- When LibreElec is restarted, the secure folder is 'locked' (this to ensure no prying eyes when the physical drive is removed and connected directly to SATA-to-USB cable)

With Windows, I can use veracrypt application and create a 'container' and mount that container to Windows, and sync google drive in that mounted drive;

Can I do similar with LibreElec / Linux in general?

Thanks

You could with devicemapper/dm-crypt, which aren't available on LibreELEC. It could perhaps be done if someone bothered to package the tools and PR the necessary kernel config options.
