Gcloud CLI Drive upload command?

[Jonathan H]

I'm probably being really thick here, but I've spent 45 minutes looking around the following:

https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/

https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/how-to

https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/

but NOTHING about Google Drive, except for https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/auth/login which gives reference to --enable-gdrive-access

I've found something about a nodejs library, but I just want to upload from the cli.

Is the documentation really poor, or is my searching ability failing me? Took me less than one minute to find the aws cli equivalent for uploading to an s3 bucket. It's: 

aws s3 cp /tmp/foo/ s3://bucket/ --recursive --exclude "*" --include "*.jpg

how easy was that? So why so hard to find Google equivalent?

I keep coming to a third party cli called gdrive, but given that this MUST be in the GCloud CLI, I'd rather use the "official" tool.

Thanks.

No, it's not in the gcloud CLI. As of this moment, there is no official CLI for interacting with Google Drive (which is historically a more consumer-oriented and less developer-oriented product).

If you're looking for the analog of Amazon's s3, Google Cloud Storage (supported in the Cloud SDK via the tool gsutil) is probably the closest thing.

Thanks! Looks like I can interact with Drive through that, so that answers the question.

But that's such a big omission from gcloud! Is it just because gcloud client is so new and still in beta? Is this basic functionality coming soon?

Do other developers never automatically (command line/cron) backup large files to their Drive storage?

Anyway, thanks for the pointer. Will install tomorrow!
