grive – Google Drive client for GNU/Linux

grive [OPTIONS]

Grive is a Google Drive (online storage service) client for GNU/Linux systems.

It allows the synchronization of all your files on the cloud with a directory of your choice and the upload of new files to Google Drive.

The options are as follows:

-a, –auth: Requests authorization token from Google
-d, –debug: Enable debug level messages. Implies -V
–dry-run: Only detect which files need to be uploaded/downloaded, without actually performing changes
-f, –force: Forces grive to always download a file from Google Drive instead uploading it
-h, –help: Produces help message
–ignore <perl_regexp>: Ignore files with relative paths matching this Perl Regular Expression. Value is remembered for next runs.
-l <filename>, –log <filename>: Write log output to <filename>
–log-http <filename_prefix>: Log all HTTP responses in files named <filename_prefix>YYYY-MM-DD.HHMMSS.txt for debugging
–new-rev: Create new revisions in server for updated files
-p <root_path>, –path <root_path>: Set root sync directory to <root_path>
-s <subdir>, –dir <subdir>: Sync a single <subdir> subdirectory. Internally converted to an ignore regexp, remembered for next runs.
-v, –version: Displays program version
-V, –verbose: Verbose mode. Enables more messages than usual.

Current maintainer is Vitaliy Filippov.
