centos gdrive script, upload to new folder

Question

I'm using https://github.com/prasmussen/gdrive

Hello,

I'm trying to run a daily script that creates a folder in Google Drive and then uploads a bunch of tar archives in it. So far I can create the folder but can't upload if I don't have the id of the folder and I have no idea how to get it. For the time being, I'm uploading to a default folder and manually moving the files.

This is what I have so far

#!/bin/bash

drive folder -t $(date '+%d-%m-%y') //makes the folder

for file in /home/backup/*.tar
do
drive upload -f "$file" -p (the newly created folder id)
done

Answer 1

According to your linked-to page, when you create a directory gdrive prints the id of it. Look at the example it gives:

$ gdrive mkdir gdrive-bin
Directory 0B3X9GlR6EmbnY1RLVTk5VUtOVkk created

So you can use, for example, awk to keep just the 2nd word and then provide this to the later upload commands:

#!/bin/bash
dir=$(drive mkdir $(date '+%d-%m-%y') | awk '$3=="created"{print $2}')
: ${dir?}
for file in /home/backup/*.tar
do   drive upload -p "$dir" "$file"
done

The : ${dir?} stops the script if we fail to find an id.

Answer 2

you need to find the id of the folder where you want to upload the files I suggest you create the pas, for example type

$ gdrive ./gdrive list

copy the id of the folder where you que and paste after -p ex.:

#!/bin/bash
dir = $ (drive mkdir $ (date '+% d-% m-% y') | awk '$ 3 == "created" {print $ 2}')
: $ {dir}
for file in /home/backup/*.tar
of the drive upload -p "$ dir" "$ file" **1yJz6M094WNWVPoM09u2m8GjoLiumSdxl**
