Google Doc files showing as zip archives

[anubeon]

Google Docs files are displayed in the mounted filesystem, however, they are displayed as zip archives (mimetype application/zip). The archive files can be opened with LibreOffice Calc and they work as expected (and are read only, as expected). I've tried editing the config file to alter 'docs_file_extension=false' to 'docs_file_extension=true' on a whim, but other than that I haven't manually modified my configuration file which is as follows:

docs_file_extension=false
verification_code=
umask=0o002
document_format=odt
debug=false
presentation_format=pdf
spreadsheet_format=ods
download_docs=true
client_id=
drawing_format=png
conflict_resolution=server
keep_duplicates=false
metadata_cache_time=60
client_secret=
read_only=false
form_format=ods
sqlite3_busy_timeout=500

Please do let me know if there is anything else I can do to help diagnose this bug. I suspect debug=true might be a start, but I'd rather follow specific instructions lest I flood this bug with irrelevant details/data.

Note: I have only spreadsheets under Google Docs at the moment.

Ooops, I stumbled across the answer in another 'bug' report. I needed to execute with the -cc option to see the 'docs_file_extension=true' configuration change come into effect.

I would suggest though that this ( i.e. 'docs_file_extension=true') ought to be default behaviour, as one can only imagine that most users using google-drive-ocamlfuse for its Google Documents feature would rather see documents extensions (and thus have them handled as any other document stored locally). Just a thought.

Thanks for your feedback. I have not changed that default yet, because I am still checking if it has some unwanted side effects.

I have the same issue; All my files on the google drive is showing up as zipped. I used a browser to check my drive online.

What extension do you get if you issue an ls command?
