drive
A command-line client for Google Drive that enables file synchronization, management, and scripting without a background daemon.
What is drive?
drive is a command-line interface for Google Drive that allows users to pull and push files, manage sharing, and perform various file operations directly from the terminal. It provides a non-daemonized, user-controlled approach to file synchronization, prioritizing explicit actions over automatic background syncing.
Developers and system administrators who prefer command-line tools for managing Google Drive files, especially those who need scriptable, explicit control over synchronization and file operations.
Unlike daemon-based sync clients, drive offers explicit, user-controlled synchronization to avoid race conditions and complexities, with advanced features like end-to-end encryption, export conversion, and .driveignore filtering for precise file management.
