Thank you for this project. I have found grive useful, and think it will be interested not only for me:

encode with gnupg all files befor syncing. Is it real?

something like:
$ grive -e -r me@mail

Encrytion is a planned feature. Your idea of using gnupg for encryption is
good.

But right now I only want to fix the existing bug in the basic features of
grive. Adding new features is just not a priority now.

Or perhaps you want to contribute? It is always welcomed!

I'm successfully using encfs to have my files encrypted.
encfs is a linux fuse filesystem driver which provides on-the-fly decryption of (part of) a filesystem.
It encrypts not only the file contents, but file names too.

It has this great --reverse option which allows you to do this the other way around, in other words, get an on-the-fly encrypted view of a piece of filesystem.

now I can just do this:

$ ls ~/google-drive  # just a local directory on my local disk
bin
ChangeLog
config.json
front-end
lib
LICENSE
node_modules
package.json
readme.md
test

$ encfs --reverse ~/google-drive /tmp/gdrive/enc
$ ls /tmp/gdrive/enc

$ cd /tmp/gdrive
$ grive # this starts syncing the encrypted files, if new ones are found on the google drive, they are transparently decoded to ~/google-drive too
