How to Use Grive (google drive client) in Ubuntu

Step 1. Grive will download/upload new or changed files from the directory you run it so firstly, create a new folder, let’s call it “grive”, in your home directory:

mkdir -p ~/grive

Step 2. Next, navigate using the terminal into the newly created “grive” folder:

cd ~/grive

Step 3. The first time you run Grive, you must use the “-a” argument to grant it permission to access your Google Drive:

grive -a

After running the command above, an URL should be displayed in the terminal – copy this URL and paste it in a web browser. In the newly loaded page, you’ll be asked to give Grive permission to access your Google Drive and after clicking “Allow access”, an authentication code will be displayed – copy this code and paste it in the terminal where you ran Grive.

That’s it. Now each time you want to sync Google Drive with your local “grive” folder, navigate to the “grive” folder (step 2) and run “grive” (this time without “-a” since you’ve already authenticated Grive with Google Drive).
