gdrive

Note

~~This tool is not being actively maintained at the moment, ymmv~~ Active maintenance will be resumed soon. For incremental and encrypted backup of unix systems borg is a great alternative and rsync.net provides a cheap and reliable backup target.

Overview

gdrive is a command line utility for interacting with Google Drive.

Prerequisites

None, binaries are statically linked. If you want to compile from source you need the go toolchain. Version 1.5 or higher.

Installation

With Homebrew on Mac

brew install gdrive

Other

Download gdrive from one of the links below. On unix systems run chmod +x gdrive after download to make the binary executable. The first time gdrive is launched (i.e. run gdrive about in your terminal not just gdrive), you will be prompted for a verification code. The code is obtained by following the printed url and authenticating with the google account for the drive you want access to. This will create a token file inside the .gdrive folder in your home directory. Note that anyone with access to this file will also have access to your google drive. If you want to manage multiple drives you can use the global --config flag or set the environment variable GDRIVE_CONFIG_DIR. Example: GDRIVE_CONFIG_DIR="/home/user/.gdrive-secondary" gdrive list You will be prompted for a new verification code if the folder does not exist.

Compile from source

go get github.com/prasmussen/gdrive

The gdrive binary should now be available at $GOPATH/bin/gdrive

Gdrive 2

Gdrive 2 is more or less a full rewrite and is not backwards compatible with gdrive 1 as all the command line arguments has changed slightly. Gdrive 2 uses version 3 of the google drive api and my google-api-go-client fork is no longer needed.

Syncing

Gdrive 2 supports basic syncing. It only syncs one way at the time and works more like rsync than e.g. dropbox. Files that are synced to google drive are tagged with an appProperty so that the files on drive can be traversed faster. This means that you can't upload files with gdrive upload into a sync directory as the files would be missing the sync tag, and would be ignored by the sync commands. The current implementation is slow and uses a lot of memory if you are syncing many files. Currently only one file is uploaded at the time, the speed can be improved in the future by uploading several files concurrently. To learn more see usage and the examples below.

Service Account

For server to server communication, where user interaction is not a viable option, is it possible to use a service account, as described in this Google document. If you want to use a service account, instead of being interactively prompted for authentication, you need to use the --service-account <serviceAccountCredentials> global option, where serviceAccountCredentials is a file in JSON format obtained through the Google API Console, and its location is relative to the config dir.

.gdriveignore

Placing a .gdriveignore in the root of your sync directory can be used to skip certain files from being synced. .gdriveignore follows the same rules as .gitignore, except that gdrive only reads the .gdriveignore file in the root of the sync directory, not ones in any subdirectories.
