Is todrive argument free? I see that it just puts it in my Google Drive root folder.
I don't see any arguments available for todrive.
It would be great if we can specificy the filename and to what folder it goes to.
Would be helpful because I would like to run reports with todrive and have it save to a specific Shared Google Drive for others to access.

Thanks!

Yes, or at least send to a default GAM directory.
A full syntax would, of course, be awesome.

todrive argument with optional spreadsheet ID would be great too - allowing you to overwrite the same Google Sheet over and over
That way even if you move and organize it, at least it's the same sheet.  Google handles the versions etc.

Todd,

In my advanced GAM(https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-X) you can specify todrive parameters.

That's very close, Ross, but I don't see it pushing data to the same file.
Only to something with the same name, which in google-speak isn't the same thing.

Todd,

Using the todrive tdfileid <DriveFileID> option adds the new data as a revision for which there is a limit of 200 revisions.
You'll have to periodically do revision maintenance.

Will it fail to create a new revision when it hits max, or will it start removing old revisions?

Its not clear to me from the API documentation; run a test and let us know the results.

Looks like there's no limitation.

I set a cronjob every minute at 21:13 yesterday, and it's now 10:45 the next day and it's still pushing updates to the doc, and as far as I can see all versions are present.
