Before this change, bisync intentionally ignored Google Docs (albeit in a buggy way that caused problems during --resync.) After this change, Google Docs (including Google Sheets, Slides, etc.) are now supported in bisync, subject to the same options, defaults, and limitations as in `rclone sync`. When bisyncing drive with non-drive backends, the drive -> non-drive direction is controlled by `--drive-export-formats` (default `"docx,xlsx,pptx,svg"`) and the non-drive -> drive direction is controlled by `--drive-import-formats` (default none.) For example, with the default export/import formats, a Google Sheet on the drive side will be synced to an `.xlsx` file on the non-drive side. In the reverse direction, `.xlsx` files with filenames that match an existing Google Sheet will be synced to that Google Sheet, while `.xlsx` files that do NOT match an existing Google Sheet will be copied to drive as normal `.xlsx` files (without conversion to Sheets, although the Google Drive web browser UI may still give you the option to open it as one.) If `--drive-import-formats` is set (it's not, by default), then all of the specified formats will be converted to Google Docs, if there is no existing Google Doc with a matching name. Caution: such conversion can be quite lossy, and in most cases it's probably not what you want! To bisync Google Docs as URL shortcut links (in a manner similar to "Drive for Desktop"), use: `--drive-export-formats url` (or alternatives.) Note that these link files cannot be edited on the non-drive side -- you will get errors if you try to sync an edited link file back to drive. They CAN be deleted (it will result in deleting the corresponding Google Doc.) If you create a `.url` file on the non-drive side that does not match an existing Google Doc, bisyncing it will just result in copying the literal `.url` file over to drive (no Google Doc will be created.) So, as a general rule of thumb, think of them as read-only placeholders on the non-drive side, and make all your changes on the drive side. Likewise, even with other export-formats, it is best to only move/rename Google Docs on the drive side. This is because otherwise, bisync will interpret this as a file deleted and another created, and accordingly, it will delete the Google Doc and create a new file at the new path. (Whether or not that new file is a Google Doc depends on `--drive-import-formats`.) Lastly, take note that all Google Docs on the drive side have a size of `-1` and no checksum. Therefore, they cannot be reliably synced with the `--checksum` or `--size-only` flags. (To be exact: they will still get created/deleted, and bisync's delta engine will notice changes and queue them for syncing, but the underlying sync function will consider them identical and skip them.) To work around this, use the default (modtime and size) instead of `--checksum` or `--size-only`. To ignore Google Docs entirely, use `--drive-skip-gdocs`. Nearly all of the Google Docs logic is outsourced to the Drive backend, so future changes should also be supported by bisync. |
