# gdriver
[](https://travis-ci.com/mtojek/gdriver)
`gdriver` is a command-line tool, written in Go, used for uploading and downloading large personal files from Google Drive (API v3).
The tool provides file selection, integrity checks, transfer retries and requires a user-defined Cloud Platform project.

## Features
* Uses [Google Drive v3 API](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/about-sdk)
* TUI-based file selection
* File integrity check (MD5 checksum)
* Transfer retries (app-internal and on application restart)
* [OAuth 2.0](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/about-auth#OAuth2Authorizing) authorization protocol
## Requirements
* User-defined Cloud Platform project with enabled Drive API ([Quickstart](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/quickstart/go#step_1_turn_on_the))
## Getting started
If you have installed [Go SDK](https://golang.org/doc/install#download), you can download and build the latest master of the `gdriver` binary:
```bash
go get github.com/mtojek/gdriver
```
Without Go SDK you can download prebuilt distribution from the [Releases](https://github.com/mtojek/gdriver/releases) page.
If you're working on a remote workstation, copy the URL link for particular release, use `curl` or `wget` to download the archive
and unpack it later (e.g `tar xvzf gdriver_X.Y.Z_linux_amd64.tar.gz`).
Run the `help` command to see available commands:
```bash
Use gdriver to download and upload large files to Google Drive.
Usage:
gdriver [command]
Available Commands:
auth Authenticate Google account
check Check files
download Download files
help Help about any command
upload Upload files
Flags:
-h, --help help for gdriver
Use "gdriver [command] --help" for more information about a command.
```
### Run the application for the first time
Import client configuration (`credentials.json`) for the Cloud Platform project. If you haven't created the project
yet or enabled the Drive API, follow the [Quickstart](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/quickstart/go#step_1_turn_on_the) steps.
Hints:
* Use a meaningful project name as it will be presented as title in the Google authentication form.
* Select `Desktop application` type for the OAuth client.
* There were issues reported in the past with downloading and saving the credentials file in Firefox. In case of facing a similar issue, please try to use Google Chrome.
Once you create the project, remember to download related login credentials.
The command will import the above credentials into the `~/.gdriver` directory and authenticate the Google user account:
```bash
gdriver auth --import-credentials credentials.json
```
You should be good to go now. Try to download first files using the `gdriver download` command, e.g.:
```bash
gdriver download --select --output tmp
```
The `folderID` is the ID of a Drive folder (e.g. `Ax9h4tAyI53ZhqMSoa2opZ6o6m21OUyww`). The value can be easily copied from the URL bar in the web browser. Open the directory in the [Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/) console and pick the `folderID` part from the URL (e.g. `https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/Ax9h4tAyI53ZhqMSoa2opZ6o6m21OUyww`).
