An interactive, systemd-based Linux tool to seamlessly sync multiple local server folders directly to your personal Google Drive using rclone.

• No 0-Byte Limits: Bypasses the strict Google Drive Service Account storage quota by authenticating directly with your personal/workspace Google Account via Web OAuth.
• Root Permissions: Runs as root in the background, ensuring it has permission to sync heavily restricted folders (like /etc/letsencrypt/archive or /var/lib/docker).
• Error Interception: Extracts and logs exact files that failed to sync natively to a readable dashboard log.
• Interactive CLI (gdrive): A beautiful, menu-driven interface to add folders, check status, and watch live upload streams.

Because Google strictly blocks headless servers from generating copy-paste OAuth tokens locally, you must use your personal computer (Windows/Mac) to generate the token, and then paste it into your server.

1. Download rclone to your local computer: rclone.org/downloads
2. Extract the file, open a Command Prompt / Terminal inside the extracted folder.
3. Run this exact command:

   rclone authorize "drive"

4. Your web browser will open. Log into the Google Account holding the destination Google Drive.
5. Your terminal will print out a massive secret code block shaped like JSON:

   {"access_token":"ya29.a0AWY7C...","token_type":"Bearer", ...}

6. Copy that entire JSON block.

1. Clone this repository to your Linux server and navigate into the folder.
2. Run the interactive installer:

   sudo ./install.sh

3. When prompted, paste the JSON block you copied from your computer.
4. The script will automatically link to your Google Drive, fetch a list of your shared or root folders, and ask you to map your first local folder!

Once installed, you can manage your background Google Drive Sync daemon from anywhere on the server by running:

sudo gdrive

Dashboard Features:

• [1-3] Service Controls: Start, Stop, and Restart the gdrive.service system daemon.
• [4] View Live Logs: Tracks real-time rclone upload outputs and prints exact failure reasons if a file gets blocked.
• [5] Add Sync Pair: Maps a new local absolute path (e.g., /var/www/html) to a folder on your Google Drive.
• [6] Remove Sync Pair: Deletes an existing mapping.
• [7] Run Manual Sync: Bypasses the sleep timer and aggressively forces an immediate sync of all configured folders.

1. /etc/gdrive/rclone.conf: Holds your secure Web OAuth token.
2. /usr/local/bin/sync_to_gdrive.sh: The core sync engine that loops your mapped folders. Runs rclone copy (safe mode) or rclone sync (strict mirror mode) based on your installation preference.
3. gdrive.service: The strict Systemd daemon that boots on startup, runs as root, sets the working directory to /var/www, and executes the engine.
4. /var/log/gdrive/gdrive.log: Standard output and standard error target for all background sync operations.
