## About

A small, fast command-line tool that keeps a local folder and a Google Drive folder in sync. Push local changes up, pull remote changes down, or just see what differs. Written in Rust, modelled on odeke-em/drive .

Or from source with a Rust toolchain: git clone https://github.com/scaleninja/drivesync && cd drivesync && make install .

APIs & Services → OAuth consent screen : choose External , name the app (this name appears on the consent page), fill in the support emails, and add yourself under Test users .

APIs & Services → Credentials → Create Credentials → OAuth client ID : type Desktop app , then Download JSON .

Then initialize a folder. A browser opens for consent; the tool receives the code on a loopback port and stores its tokens in .gd/ inside the folder (mode 0600, never uploaded).

Google expires refresh tokens after 7 days for External apps still in Testing . If you are asked to re-run init every week, click Publish app on the consent screen (no verification is needed for personal use).

Run any command from anywhere inside the sync folder.
