Google Drive Folder Location

Open quarkrad opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Apologies if this is the wrong place - I have a question rather than an issue. I have installed celeste on my ubuntu machine and all seems to be fine. I have a folder in my GoogleDrive called backup - but everything in GoogleDrive is being sync'd. Can celeste point to a specific folder in GoogleDrive for Sync'ing. In my case backup? For my machine I have /home/user/Documents for sync'ing but nothing in the Remote folder. Perhaps you cannot sync to a specific folder in GoogleDrive - only the whole thing.

That you - but what would I type in the location box? Inside my GoogleDrive I have a folder called backup. If I was on my ubuntu machine I would type something like: /GoogleDrive/backup

What does Google understand/accept in terms of the nomenclature for the location of the backup directory?

You're all good, this is the place to submit questions right now, I might set up GitHub discussions in the future for questions though.

If it's just a folder called backup in Google Drive, you should just be able to enter /drive for the remote folder in the folder picker dialog.
