README.md

           BookmarkFS - the dumbest project i've ever made

Exploits the google chrome bookmark sync service to store files for
free

 Installation and usage

 1. Download the code as a zip and unzip it
 2. Go to chrome://extensions and turn on developer mode
 3. Click "Load Unpacked" and select the unzipped folder

To upload a file, click on the icon for the extension and it will
open up a page where you can upload, download, and delete files

 How does it work?

Every bookmark can contain a maximum of 9092 charaters before google
refuses to sync them. Using base64 encoding, this means you can fit
around 72kb into a single bookmark. When you upload a file, it gets
encoded into base64, split into multiple bookmarks, and stored into
folders corresponding with the file name.

 Demo

sample.mp4

 Things you might be wondering

"Why?" "Science isn't about why, it's about why not" - Cave Johnson

"What's the max file size?" Not infinite, unfortunately. The syncing
should be theoretically infinite, I've tested with over 10k bookmarks
and file sizes > 100MB, but the bottleneck is your computer's memory.
When you launch the extension, all of the files will eventually get
loaded into RAM, slowing things down quite a bit and eventually
crashing chrome with enough files. There might be ways to get around
this.

"Why folders? there aren't any actual bookmarks" Using bookmarks
works, and since the url section can be used as well, you can get
over well double the storage density. However, chrome does not seem
to sync bookmarks that long nested so deeply. Fortunately, it has no
problems with me using folders and storing as much of them as I want

 Disclaimer

DO NOT hover over the bookmarks folder when large files are uploaded.
It will freeze chrome, or if you're using a chromebook it crashes the
entire chromebook. At one point it even made Xorg crash.
