Cloudfile

Cloudfile can upload and download (large) files to the original position.

Installation

• pip install cloudfile
• If you only want to use cloudfile to restore you are done.
• To also upload you need to install Google Client Library, make an API key, and login to your google account. This means executing:

  • python -m cloudfile enable_google_api

    This will install the Google Client Library and open https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/quickstart/python

    On site, click on Enable the Drive API to make an API key. Save the file in the root directory as credentials.json.

  • python -m cloudfile enable_google_drive

    This will make you sign in to your google account.
