Holy fuck

I just want to upload some files to Google Drive from the CLI.
How the hell is this so hard?!

knightly reshared this.

@silverwizard Is there some way you can perhaps mount Google Drive into your filesystem? Then you could just use plain old cp.

The only slight issue is that it fails, mounts nothing, with no logs or information, no matter where I attempt to use it.

@Kicou The rclone I have access to in packages is sliiiiiiiightly out of date, and in that slight change, Google changed its entire auth scheme
