Google Drive Utility

A simple and useless command line utility for Google Drive.

Descriptions

There are whole brunch of utilities which can be found on the net which can upload, download, or synchronize files between local to google drive. This is an experimental project did not do much about being a real utility.

This utility use "service account" as a way to access Google Drive. However, a service account could not use account owner's drive directly, that means, you have to allow your drive share with your service account, or service account's drive share with yourself. A better way to share between you and your service account is using "shared drive." As you may expect, share your "shared drive" with your service account.

If you have no idea about "service account", try to get one from google api console.

	gdrive.Start()
}
