Docsbox

I made my life a little easier and I want to share this with you. Now documents created in Google Docs are available offline and on all my work computers.

I present to you a Python script that synchronizes documents between the Google Docs service and the directory on the disk, which in my case is the directory of the Dropbox service repository .

Source: github.com/k0sh/Docsbox

Installation

1. Download and unzip the archive - github.com/downloads/k0sh/Docsbox/docsbox-0.1.zip
2. Copy the docsbox.conf.example file to docsbox.conf and fill it with your data
3. Install The Google Data Python Client Library (# easy_install gdata)
4. Running the script: # python docsbox.py

Principle of operation.

First, the presence of the 'dropbox' folder (FOLDER parameter) is checked in Google Docs, if it is absent, it is created. A list of documents in this folder is requested. A search is made for documents (files with the extension .doc) in the specified directory (parameter BOX_PATH). Further, Google docs documents missing in the directory are unloaded from the service. Modified documents (those whose date of last update is not equal) are uploaded / loaded accordingly. Documents missing from Google Docs are uploaded to the service.

Known Issues

• If you delete a document in the Google Docs interface, then the next session, it will still load into it. (I have not yet figured out how to handle this situation)
• Only documents are synchronized (".doc")

PS1

It would be very wonderful if Dropbox had an API, then it would be possible to screw this script as a plug-in and everything would work on the machine, and not as it is now manually or by cron.
