What is GD-Index ?

First of all G-Index stands for Google Drive Directory Index. It is a Serverless Google Drive directory indexing program. It can list Google Drive files in the form of a directory and can be downloaded through a straight chain. It Can be Your Personal Drive or Share Drive or a Folder or a Team Drive.

How Does it Work ?

Everything Comes to a Single Piece with the Help of Cloudflare Workers and Google Drive API. Getting Files, Streaming, and Downloading Requests in the Website is Done via Google Drive API Leveraging the Use of CLoudflare Workers.The Google Drive API allows you to create apps that leverage Google Drive cloud storage. You can develop applications that integrate with Google Drive, and create robust functionality in your application using Google Drive API.

Workers

Cloudflare Workers Means ?

Cloudflare Workers provides a lightweight JavaScript execution environment that allows developers to augment existing applications or create entirely new ones without configuring or maintaining infrastructure.Cloudflare Workers lets developers deploy serverless JavaScript applications on Cloudflare's global cloud network, where they are seamlessly scalable and closer to end users. Based on the Service Workers API, Workers receive events for every HTTP(S) request made to an application. Workers then run application logic and can make subsequent requests to the Cloudflare Cache, Cloudflare Workers KV, or an application origin to return data to the user.

Some Insight About Cloudflare Workers

How it Works ?

Though Cloudflare Workers behave similar to JavaScript in the browser or in Node.js, there are a few subtle differences in how you have to think about your code. Under the hood, the Workers runtime uses the V8 engine - the same engine used by Chromium and Node.js. The Workers runtime also implements many of the standard APIs available in most modern browsers.

The differences between JavaScript written for the browser or Node.js happen at runtime. Rather than running on an individual's machine (e.g a browser application or on a centralized server), Workers functions run on Cloudflare's Edge Network - a growing global network of thousands of machines distributed across hundreds of locations.

Each of these machines hosts an instance of the Workers runtime, and each of those runtimes is capable of running thousands of user-defined apps.

Security

The Cloudflare Workers runtime is carefully designed to defend against side channel attacks. This design priority goes back to the very start of the Workers project, in early 2017, before Spectre had been discovered.

To this end, Workers is designed to make it impossible for code to measure its own execution time locally. For example, the value returned by Date.now() is locked in place while code is executing. No other timers are provided. These design choices cannot be introduced retroactively into other platforms - such as web browsers - because they remove APIs that existing applications depend on.
