That flag only work after they shared the folder to your account. My workflow is more of finding shared folders not necessarily being shared to my specific account. Then I usually click “Add to My Drive” which then after that it will be available to the flag you mention.
I was looking for more into adding a folder into my shared folder via rclone.
Yes. So typically I already have list of urls ready. I add them to my drive,work on them and either keep it that way or delete the shared folders from my drive. Currently I have to add them via gui Web browser, very time consuming…
So if I can use rclone to do this it will save a lot of time.
Something like rclone --addshares and rclone --removeshares
I could add this to rclone, but since it only applies to one backend (drive) I’m reluctant to!
I understand your point. I’m not familiar with other cloud providers way of sharing files and folders but I would think they all need a way to add folder and file as shared folders.
There’s no other command line tools that could help for Google Drive. For other cloud provider such as mega.nz there’s megaous tool etc. But not for Google drive.
If you are reluctant to add for only Google drive, I understand, but this also similarly applies to other backend. In mega.nz I have to use mega.nz website to add folders into my mega.nz account before I can work on them with rclone.
For Microsoft one drive too. I have to use onedrive website to save shared folders to my corporate domain onedrive account. Without this I can’t access it from rclone. It’s even worse in the case of Microsoft onedrive because that action above means a real copy of those folders and files that will take long time to finish. This is as opposed to Google drive that does this instantly because it only links the folders and put them inside “My Drive”
I was wondering if there has been any progress about this.
I got a list of lot of google drive file urls that I would like to Add to My Drive using the command line, rather than opening every single file in the web browser and then clicking the “Add to My Drive” button manually
