One more thing that might help get this working:

You may need to enable access to less secure apps at this page.

Also, there's a problem with the various enhanced scripts on this page: in order to determine if the type is HOSTED or GOOGLE, they check the username (email) to see if it's a Gmail address. This is not correct because you can now use a non-Gmail account to set up a Google account; that's what I'm doing. I have a non-Gmail account with email hosted somewhere else, but I'm using Google's other services (Drive).

I think I am looking for this one. but I don't understand how to use these script. anyone explain?
Edit: OK, I got it now, great works.

Great script - but having a problem getting it to run properly on a raspberry PI.

Weird problem. When I run it I'm getting "curl: (3) Illegal characters found in URL" in the final curl in the definition of $upload_link.
If I then edit the script and replace $upload_link variable with the actual $upload_link string it runs fine.

For example:
curl --request POST --output /dev/null --data-binary "@$file" --header "Authorization: GoogleLogin auth=${token}" --header "GData-Version: 3.0" --header "Content-Type: $mime_type" --header "Slug: $slug" "$upload_link" $curl_args

replaced with:

curl --request POST --output /dev/null --data-binary "@$file" --header "Authorization: GoogleLogin auth=${token}" --header "GData-Version: 3.0" --header "Content-Type: $mime_type" --header "Slug: $slug" "https://docs.google.com/feeds/upload/create-session/default/private/full?convert=true&upload_id=######" $curl_args

works fine.

Any ideas?

@nzbaxterman I ran into this problem too. The request to get the upload URL seems to have a line break in it now. Stripping that works for me:

upload_link = `curl ... | tr -d '\r\n'`

@kane-c tnx works for me

Nice work!

Anyone know how to avoid the file duplication?

Here have some info about how manage folders, could be nice get the list of folder names and overwrite the files to avoid duplication:

https://developers.google.com/drive/web/manage-uploads

Here have info about how make an update case the file exist:
https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files/update

Here the author is using the new google drive api, where you can specify the 'uploadType':
http://codeseekah.com/tag/curl/
https://github.com/soulseekah/bash-utils/blob/master/google-drive-upload/upload.sh

I think we have elements to make a complete sync client in bash!

does this still works? I always get

https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/AuthForInstalledApps

when authenticating. Seems like Google deprecated this kind of authentication

@nicolabeghin it doesn't work anymore.

This code doesn't work anymore because google has enforced OAUTH 2.0.

Grive doesn't depend on Qt or Xorg.

Google enforcing OAuth this script doesn't work any more;
You will get a 404 on "https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin" when requesting the "${token}"

This one works fine with OAuth 2 : https://github.com/labbots/google-drive-upload

You will need an API client and secret : Go to https://console.developers.google.com/apis/ and create a "Google Drive" credential of type "OAuth client ID", sub type "other"

(Adding that here as this gist still popups first on google search)

evolution happens:

* automatically gleans MIME type from file

* uploads multiple files

* removes directory prefix from filename

* works with filenames with spaces

* uses dotfile for configuration and token

* interactively configuring

* uploads to target folder if last argument looks like a folder id

* quieter output

* uses longer command line flags for readability

* throttle by adding `curl_args="--limit-rate 500K"` to $HOME/.gdrive.conf

Still working, great !
