GoogleDrive Python API

Lets you upload files and folders to google drive assuming one has registered on developers.google and has client_secrets.json

export DRIVE_SECRET_PATH=$FILEPATH_TO_SECRETS.json

Rename settings_template.yaml to settings.yaml
Copy clientId and clientSecret from client_secrets.json to respective fields in settings.yaml
It will ask for one time verification, for subsequent runs, the parameters will be taken from creds.json
If you are running on a server where verification on browser is not possible, create a ssh tunnel

ssh -N -L localhost:$MACHINE_PORT_NO:localhost:$SERVER_PORT_NO username@server-ip
