As per this article, I am able to get nautilus integration with google drive and can manually copy files into google drive via the GUI, however I would like to be able to write a small shell script to do backups periodically via cron
. I cannot seem to find where this is actually mounted?
Via nautilus I see it at google-drive://my.email@gmail.com/
however am a bit confused how this is actually connected/mounted so nautilus can see it and where I can cp
files to?
mount mountpoint google-drive

Maybe Use ocamlfuse, and create a Local Folder to use....github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse. The startup is not exactly right...Here's mine....@reboot sleep 30 && google-drive-ocamlfuse -o allow_other ~/google/

By Default, ocamlfuse is only available to root, so that is why-o allow_other
is necessary. Authorization Step is Here...github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse/wiki/Authorization

Given that I can drag and drop files for syncing withnautilus
, is there not a way to do this without using a third party application? Given that I am usingUbuntu 18.04
which has built in support viaSetting -> Online Accounts -> Google

If it were a mounted filesystem, then you'd be able to see it. There is no mounted filesystem. That files app.... it just uses api calls to get a file listing, and show you some files in a window, then when you click on them or drag them etc, it copies that one file to wherever... Just like using the google drive web interface.
