README

Google Drive backend

Parameters

Possible parameters are:

• google_client_id: The Google Client ID
• google_client_secret: The Google Client Secret, it shall never be shared
• token_file: The path of the token file that will be created
• base_path: The base path of the Google Drive folder

Note: The token file will be updated regularly (every day). It's important that the server can write the token file after its initial creation.

How to use it

Create an app

You can follow these instructions.

Use the created client credentials

You can either define the google_client_id and google_client_secret access params or specify the GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET environment variables.

You should have a config file looking like this one:

{
  "accesses": [
   {
      "user": "gdrive",
      "pass": "gdrive",
      "fs": "gdrive",
      "params": {
        "google_client_id": "*****.apps.googleusercontent.com",
        "google_client_secret": "*****",
        "basePath": "/ftp"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Connect for the first time

You should run the ftpserver in interactive mode. The first time you will login with the "gdrive" user, the server will ask you to open a link, wich will authorize the app you just created and return a code. This code will allow the server to create a token file (named gdrive_token_$username.json by default).
