trying to uploaded files from a linux server to google drive with there official cli software but i need a little help

steve51184 · 08-20-2016, 06:22 PM

the command i use to upload a folder is:

Code:

/location/to/gdrive upload --recursive /folder/to/upload/

which will upload everything in the 'upload' folder to my google drive account which is just what i wanted

only problem is i can't chose where the 'upload' folder gets uploaded to so it just make a folder called 'upload' in my main google drive account

problem is i run this command multiple times (for backups via cron) and everytimr is does this is makes a ne 'upload' folder is my google drive account so my google drive account is just full of 'upload' folders

a second problem is the 'delete file after successful upload' is for folder upload only file so i made something like this:

Code:

for f in /folder.to/upload/*.*; do /location/to/gdrive upload --name --delete $f; done

which seems to upload the files but there all called '--delete'

any help or a suggestion for a better google drive cli program that does what i need would be appreciated thanks
