GoogleDriveJavaClient

Implementation of Google Drive Client in Java

It supports everything except:

• syncing shared files (TBD)
• multiple parents for file/directory (won't fix)
• edit feature for google docs, google spreadsheets, google presentations (won't fix)

JDK: 1.7+ OS: MacOS X, Linux(actualy, tested under Ubuntu 13.04 only)

Assemble instructions: ./gradlew installApp

How to run:

• cd $PROJECT_DIR/build/install/google-drive
• bin/google-drive
• enter path to the directory you would like to sync
• authorize the application via following provided link

Startup algorithm:

• try to download all content(except shared resources) of your google drive if needed
• try to upload/create local unsynced files/dirs
• scheduling task that will sync local and remote storage once for 15 seconds

Notes:

• startup could take a while, depending on amount of data you have remotely/locally, so be patient
• google docs, google spreadsheets, google presentations are exposed locally as pdf files, because of lack of functionality to update them via APIs
