## What it is
A command-line client for Google Drive written in Go, supporting listing, uploading, downloading, sharing, and one-way syncing of files. This original repository is no longer maintained; its successor is Gdrive 3 (glotlabs/gdrive).

## Use cases
- upload files to google drive from the terminal
- download google drive files via command line
- sync a local directory to google drive
- manage google drive files in scripts
- use google drive with a service account on a server
- ignore files when syncing to drive with a gitignore-style file

## When to choose
- you need a simple static-binary CLI for Google Drive on Linux, macOS, or Windows
- you want scriptable, non-interactive Drive access via a service account
- you prefer rsync-like one-way syncing over a Dropbox-style client

## When to avoid
- you want an actively maintained tool - use the successor glotlabs/gdrive instead
- you need fast, memory-efficient syncing of many files
- you need two-way or real-time sync like Dropbox
