grive for raspberry pi

[Claude Pageau]

I have been using grive compiled for raspberry pi for a few years now. My GitHub repo is at https://github.com/pageauc It works fine for what I want it to do.  The web documentation for the grive project is a little out of date and should reference features in the latest version.  Currently I am using  grive version 0.3.0-pre Nov 25 2014 14:24:10

I am currently using grive as an option in my pi-timolo (Pi TImelapse, MOtion, LOwlight)  the older version is pi-motion-grive but I no longer update this version.

The web documentation should reference the grive -p option to point to the folder to sync (it must contain a valid .grive file).  This avoids the need to have grive in the folder that is being sync'ed.  In the process of using grive to automate syncing of security camera images I had to write a bash script to control various problems like running multiple instances of grive or clearing hung sync process etc.  I also clear the .trash since the raspberry pi runs from an SD card that has limited file storage.  This file is called sync.sh and is located at  https://github.com/pageauc/pi-timolo/tree/master/source.  This script works well running grive from a crontab entry and avoids problems with hung, multiple processes or excess hand shaking when there are no files to sync.

I would like to see the grive documentation reference use on Raspbian since it can be useful.  It would be nice to have your web documentation show a raspberry pi precompiled version of grive.  I can a supply a raspberry pi precompiled grive version or you can point to my github repo for a download location.

Thanks for a great program
