Uploading File into Google Drive (because grive too many dependencies qt, xorg ? )

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 !
