I'm guessing that you only use it for occasional syncing then? Or do you use something like incron to look for changes then run grive, giving it more of an automatic sync?


I haven't bothered to set up a cron job, partly because I tend to reimage the ARM devices I use grive on quite often, but yeah there's nothing I know of stopping someone from setting grive up to run automatically.

Still not quite as nice as the other clients which subscribe to file change notifications, but more seamless than running it manually for sure.


Ah ok. I looked at it and noticed it didn't sync when changes were done. Incron should work in theory, but I haven't tried it. The lack of a headless gdrive client for linux & the fact that I still use windows on a few systems is why I still use dropbox. Was just curious how well it worked in practice
