I am using Ubuntu 16.04.
I am trying to sync my Google drive using grive2 in a way that only a specific folder is treated as my root folder in Google Drive i.e., only files and folders contained within the specified Google Drive folder are synced.

I am aware of the -p argument but for some reason I am not able to enter the correct path. Please can someone help.

I have tried the following commands.

grive -p ./my_directory -a  



grive -p ./"my_directory" -a  



grive -p "Id" -a #where ID is the id of the resource as per Google Drive API

Each of these is throwing the same error.

exception: /build/grive2-2Hxkkx/grive2-0.5.1/libgrive/src/util/File.cc(128): Throw in function void gr::File::Open(const boost::filesystem::path&, int, int)

I'm a bit confused by what you mean by "only a specific folder is treated as my root folder in Google Drive i.e., only files and folders contained within the specified Google Drive folder are synced".

Do you want:

a) my_directory = your google drive root, as I read the first part of your sentence or

b) my_directory = a folder named my_directory in google drive, how I read the second part.

This is how I achieve b) (in my case, my_directory is in ~/grive):

cd $HOME/grive

grive -s my_directory

I only had to use -a the first time btw.

  by 'only a specific folder....' I mean that gdrive ignores all the other folders are higher in hierarchy from that folder and considers folders and files that are children of that specific folder. I don't think the your suggestion works for me because to use the -s argument I would have had to download the entire gdrive first. At least that is what my experience of using that argument has been so far
