Uploading folders for users

[Richard Walter]

Hello All,

I am looking into creating a script to upload our users windows home directories to a folder in their google drives, since this summer we are most likely getting rid of our desktop computers. Is there a gam command I am missing that could upload an entire folder's contents or am I going to need to do this file by file? Has anyone tried doing this?

All in all, I would want to create the structure they have in their current h drive, inside a folder in google drive labeled something like "From H Drive".

[Ricardo Ardila Vetrovec]

Hello, this is my experience

I currently using google drive to backup data...

You need tu septup oauth2service.json (https://github.com/jay0lee/GAM/wiki/CreatingClientSecretsFile section Creating Your Own OAuth2service.json)

Then i make a tar.gz file (in your case a zip o rar file) and uploading to a specific folder in the gdrive user account with this command

python /GAM-3.45/gam.py user USER EMAIL add drivefile localfile DIRECTORY/FILE.TAR.GZ parentid ID OF THE FOLDER

if you don't want to upload on an specific directory ignore parentid then this upload to the root directory of the user.

GAMW WIKI DRIVE SECTION https://github.com/jay0lee/GAM/wiki/GoogleDriveManagement

Hope other users of this group can help us with de directory upload at once doubt

I too have been looking for a "clean" way to do this, no duplicates, update existing, etc.  So far, very little info available outside of "have the users do it themselves"...  While some will, many will not.

Also, moving large numbers of files/large amounts of data frequently fails or times out, possibly due to google throttling uploads.

Uh, bump?  Nobody has successfully tackled this yet?

[Jefferson Davis]

I just found this on github.  May be exactly what we're looking for :D

There are also commercial products like SkySync and Cloud Fast Path that are designed to facilitate bulk uploads to Drive (and other EFSS solutions), doing stuff like mapping permissions and so forth.

Hope that helps,

Ian

So far various unresolved errors.  Hope to have some more time to monkey with it tomorrow.

Hi Jefferson,

Reviving an old post here...I was wondering if you ever had any success getting this Perl script to work for you. Like others in this thread, we have several home folders left on our Windows file servers when students and/or employees leave and I'd love to be able to upload all of that stuff to their Google Drive. I've been playing with the script (no prior experience with Perl!) and not getting all that far...

Thanks!

Mark

Sadly, no.  We ended up doing it manually.

We are a G Suite for Education school (non-Enterprise) so we don't qualify right now but it might be something to keep an eye on.

We use Rclone for things like this. You can setup service accounts and do user impersonation. 
We actually have been using it to mass migrate data to Team (Shared) Drives and My Drives for our education clients. Huge cost savings compared to Migration tools and almost as easy to setup and use if you can write some decent powershell to deal with errors and logging.

Andrew,

Are you perhaps able to share examples of "decent powershell to deal with errors and logging"? :-)

Maybe even rclone settings/configs, unless they are part of the PS scripts.

Anonymised, of course. If it's documented, even better.

/Kim

[Andrew Birchler (Five-Star Technology)]

Kim, 

Unfortunately I can't share our Powershell scripting. Company policy on our internal developed tools and such. 

The documentation for all the parts needed is really solid https://rclone.org/drive/. You just need to put the parts together. Service accounts & the account impersonation are the ones you need to focus on that aren't really in any of the How to guides I have read. 
Rclone has a good forum as well so you can get assistance with anything over there easy enough. 

--Andrew

[Kim Nilsson]

Shame, but thanks for letting us know.

[Mark Ryan]

Andrew and Ross,

Just wanted to say thank you for pointing me in the direction of Rclone. After working through the documentation and a little help from the Rclone forum, I've been able to upload files and folders from our file server into students' Google Drives. It really is a great tool.

Thanks,
