gdrive: Create a new revision of an ID using a given file or folder.
$ gdrive update ${id} ${filename_or_folder}
try on your machine

The command "gdrive update ${id} ${filename_or_folder}" is used to update an existing file or folder on Google Drive using the gdrive command-line tool.

Here's a breakdown of the different parts of the command:

  • "gdrive": This is the command-line tool, which provides a way to interact with Google Drive from the command line.
  • "update": This is the action to be performed, which in this case is updating a file or folder on Google Drive.
  • "${id}": This is a placeholder for the unique ID of the file or folder you want to update. The ID is a specific identifier assigned to each item on Google Drive.
  • "${filename_or_folder}": This is a placeholder for the name or path of the file or folder you want to use as the updated version. You need to specify either the name or the path of the file/folder on your local system.

To use this command, you need to replace "${id}" with the actual ID of the file or folder you want to update and "${filename_or_folder}" with the name or path of the file/folder you want to use as the updated version.

For example, if you want to update a file with ID "123456789" using a locally saved file named "updated_file.txt", the command would be:

gdrive update 123456789 updated_file.txt
