Specifying remote directories?

Open timmrogers opened this issue 10 years ago • 9 comments

I'd like to be able to use drive to push a network directory to Google Drive.

Is there a way to push, say, a directory mounted on /Volumes/archives to Storage/Archives on my Google Drive?

Thank you.

This would be a really nice option. I also like to know if there is such a way.

Please take a look at closed issue https://github.com/rakyll/drive/issues/10

I'm not sure if that's really the same feature as asked.

Let me explain: I have a local folder /local/backups/dumps/ and this folder should be pushed/uploaded to the google drive folder /storage/backups/dumps/.

Is it possible?

Ah I see, thanks for the clarification. Right now it is not possible since drive will resolve the context depending on whether the first path is a locally initialized Google Drive point. I agree this will be a very useful feature to add in. I'd be happy to get this feature in, but my final exams kick off this afternoon and I'll be busy for the next two weeks. If someone hasn't yet pushed up a PR implementing it by then, I will be able to get it in before Christmas.

That sounds great! I'll keep an eye out. Good luck with your exams!

Hey @nick4me, @timmrogers Christmas might be coming soon, hopefully :) I got some free time and have started a PR to address this issue. Not yet complete but so far I have a proof of concept that allows uploads from arbitrary paths directly to the drive. I'll def go through discussions and iterations. Please see PR #44
