Gphotos

Use Selenium WebDriver to ease uploading files to Google Photos.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'gphotos'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install gphotos

Usage

Install ChromeDriver. On Debian:

# apt-get install chromium-driver

Command line options:

Usage: gphotos [options] file...

Specific options:
    -e, --email=EMAIL                Set email to EMAIL
    -p, --passwd=PASSWD              Set passwd to PASSWD
    -l, --list=FILE                  Read list of files to upload from FILE

Common options:
    -h, --help                       Show this message
    -V, --version                    Show version

Example:

$ gphotos -e foo@gmail.com -p bar /path/to/image.jpg /path/to/video.mp4

upload(2):
/path/to/image.jpg
/path/to/video.mp4

done:
2 uploaded

Set email and password in config file, ~/.gphotos/config.yml:

:email: foo@gmail.com
:passwd: foo

If you use password managers like pass, you can use :passwd_exec instead:

:passwd_exec: pass show foo@gmail.com

ChromeDriver user data(browser settings, cookies, cache) will be saved in ~/.gphotos/chromedriver, so you don't need to login every time. If you encounter any browser related problem, remove the user data directory and retry.
