An interesting project I bump info is gdrive.

I was looking for a quick and dirty command that allows me to interact with a Google Drive directly from Command Line Interface and I found this project on Github.

Written completely in go, gdrive has precompiled binaries for almost every operating system, from Microsoft Windows to Arm based Linux like Raspbian.

gdrive home page describes minutely how to install and use the command line interface but, basically, it works like git by pushing and pulling data from Google Drive.

I had tested it with a freshly created Google Drive and it worked flawlessly.
It behaves quite well using either a bunch of small files or a single larger one.
