Really I'm interested in the "Drive" rebranding w.r.t. the googlecl and
gdata projects. `google docs ... ` still works fine.

Really what I'm more interested in is the likelihood that
the "--no-convert" option may become available to non "Premier" users. Or
even, when they eventually do release a Linux client, that will immediately
solve a lot of the things I was trying to do with google-cl/gdata. (Really
I'm after drop-box like functionality, like InSync provides for Windows)

I believe --no-convert became available a while back, but only works if you're using python gdata 2.0.14.  Unfortunately, it's all very convoluted:  http://credentiality2.blogspot.com/2011/11/untangling-gdata.html

Raise your own separate topic please rather than hijacking mine.

I know Google docs still works. My mobile phone is nagging me to convert to
Google Drive...I keep saying no to keep it as Google Docs.

Can someone here confirm ->> Does googlecl work if I convert to Google
Drive?

I wasn't trying to hijack your topic, and my reply was not clear... I
have "converted" to Google Drive, and it seems to have no impact on
googlecl -- my `docs` commands still work.

Whew. Converted - no impact here either. I am surprised and disappointed
that there is still no official information to confirm googlecl also
supports google drive.

I guess the googlecl is a dead project, since last updates are from over a
year ago. For me the googlecl doesn't even work with the newest gdata, so I
have forced my system not to update gdata anymore. I hope that the soon to
be (or not to be) Linux client will offer the functionality I need.

I hope it is not a dead project!

Googlecl is the only way I know to provide automated independent local data
backups at the moment. Such things are important for me and my customers.
Perhaps a moderator can re-assure?

I can confirm the versions in Debian Squeeze seem to be peachy.

I have noticed that when uploading to Google Drive using googlecl, the
--folder switch does not seem to work. It knows whether the folder or
subfolder exists, but the file is always uploaded to the root directory.
Anyone know a fix for this?
