A CLI script for moving files from Google Drive to a WebDAV storage.

This script is only able to move the files of one Google Drive folder to a defined folder of a WebDAV storage. The directory structure on the Google Drive's side isn't recreated on the WebDAV storage's side.

The ScanSnap ix500 is a great document scanner. It's feature ScanSnap Cloud allows the user to scan the documents directly to many cloud services. Unfortunately, the scanning to Nextcloud instances is not supported. Also the usage of the WebDAV protocol is not supported by ScanSnap Cloud. To use the "Scan to Cloud" feature, the scanner can be configured to scan to Google Drive. Using this script allows move the file from the Google Drive storage to the Nextcloud storage (or any other storage service supporting the WebDAV protocol).

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/mpksoftware/googledrive-webdav.git
cd googledrive-webdav

Use composer to install the third-party dependencies:

composer install

Go to Google Drive's Quickstart guide, click on "Enable the Drive API" and get the credentials for accessing the Google Drive API. You'll get a file called credentials.json which have to be stored in this project's root directory.

Copy the config.dist.php file inside this repository to a file named config.php and update the configuration file to fit your needs.

Call ./bin/sync to initialize the connection to the Google Drive API. This command uses the previously stored credentials.json file to authenticate with Google Drive's API. When running this command the first time, it prints a URL which you should open in your web browser to get a verification code. Please type in the verification code to the console's prompt ("Enter verification code: ...").

After installing the script and initializing the connection to the Google Drive API, you are able to start the synchronization. Please call the following command:

./bin/sync

For debugging purposes you are able to set verbosity flags:

./bin/sync -vvv

It is recommended to run the above command as a cronjob to automatically move all files from your Google Drive to your WebDAV storage.
