Setup

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your Google OAuth credentials

# Development (Express + Vite concurrently)
npm run dev

# Production build
npm run build
npm start

Docker

# Create .env with your credentials
cat > .env << EOF
PORT=3000
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:3000/auth/callback
EOF

# Build and run
docker compose up -d

# View logs
docker compose logs -f

# Stop
docker compose down

Database is persisted in a Docker volume (udrive-db). The .env file is automatically loaded if present; if not, set environment variables directly in docker-compose.yaml under environment:.

Environment Variables

PORT=3000
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:3000/auth/callback

First Run

1. Start the server with npm run dev
2. Open http://localhost:5173 (dev) or http://localhost:3000 (production)
3. Create your Master account in the setup wizard
4. Add Google Drive accounts via Accounts page
5. Set the first account as Primary
6. Create/choose a shared folder in the Primary account's Drive
7. Enter the Shared Folder ID in Settings
8. All added accounts will be auto-shared access to this folder

Roles & Permissions

Master:

• Full access to all features
• Create/delete Slave users
• Assign granular permissions per Slave
• Session never expires

Slave:

• Access controlled per page: Drive, Trash, Accounts, Settings
• Access controlled per action: upload, download, delete, create folder, rename, move, copy, restore, permanent delete, manage accounts, import/export
• Configurable session timeout

How It Works

• Primary Account owns the shared folder and is used for listing/reading files
• Non-primary Accounts are used for uploading (quota charged to uploader)
• Delete uses the file's owner account (auto-detected via Drive API if not tracked locally)
• Storage is tracked per account and displayed as progress bars and donut charts
