Improve this question. Please note that all the instructions and commands mentioned in this write-up have been tested on Ubuntu Gdrive is basically a tool that lets you access your Google Drive account through the command line. Yes, that means you need to run commands for any and every Drive operation that you want to perform. But worry not, it's not at all difficult to use and the commands aren't difficult to remember either.
You can easily download and install Gdrive on your Linux box by heading to the tool's official GitHub page , and downloading the executable file for your system. For example, I downloaded a file named gdrive-linux as I work on a bit Linux distribution.
Once downloaded, make sure that the file has executable permissions. If not, grant it the permissions through the chmod command. For example, I used the following command:. After this, you need to make sure that the tool is allowed to connect to your Google Drive account. For this, you need to run the executable file with about argument.
Here's the command:. You will be asked to enter a verification code, which is obtained by heading to the url printed in the command's output and authenticating with the google account for the drive you want access to.
The following screenshots will make the process clear:. Clicking the 'Allow' button will produce the required code on the web page itself. After the verification code is entered on the command line terminal, Gdrive will connect to your Google Drive account. For example, here is the complete output after I entered the code in my case:. Important note : The aforementioned authentication process will create a token file inside a folder - named. Here are examples of some of the basic Google Drive operations that you can carry out using Gdrive.
I am assuming that the Gdrive executable that you download on your system is also named gdrive-linux and is kept in your current working directory. To list the contents files and directories of your Google Drive, you can use the following command:.
If you want to limit the maximum number of files that can be displayed in the output default is 30 , you can add the -m flag followed a number that represents the new maximum limit. For example:. You can also add a query for filtering the output based on your requirement. For example, If I only want specific files say, that contain 'Gmail' in their name in the output, I can use the following command:.
Here's how you can do these operations:. The directory ID [dir ID] in the command above can be obtained from the entry of that particular directory when you list your Drive contents using Gdrive. Finally, you can use the following command to download a file from your Google Drive account to your system:. There are several flags that help you with your download operations.
For example, -f tells Gdrive to overwrite existing file of the same name if any , -r tells the tool to download a directory recursively, and --delete makes sure the remote file gets deleted when download is successful.
It's worth mentioning that the last two flags also work with upload operations. Gdrive also lets you share your Google Drive files with others. For example, if you want to make a file readable to everyone, you can do it through the following command:. Of course, that's not what we always want. Mostly, we share files with our friends or colleagues. So, for example, if you want to share a file with someone you know, you can do so using the following command:.
The above command will grant reader permission to your friend, whose email address you have to provide in place of [email add]. Insync provides a day free trial period.
