bringing google drive to wsl

Source

I wanted my Google Drive repository to be available as a filesystem under the Windows Subsystem for Linux. After a couple of false starts, here's how I've done it.

When running, Google Drive seems to default to being available with drive letter G:\, because of course it does. The c:\ drive appears magically under /mnt/c`, but the G:\ drive didn't do the same.

Reading some of the WSL documentation eventually led to the following:

auto/bringing-google-drive-to-wsl/wsl.conf (Source)

[automount]
enabled = true
mountFsTab = true
root = /mnt
options = "metadata,umask=22,fmask=11"

auto/bringing-google-drive-to-wsl/fstab (Source)

G: /mnt/gdrive drvfs defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

If I understand correctly, the enabled = true should find all of the physical drives on the system. But since the Google Drive is a different sort of a beast, I seem to need the fstab explicitly.
