Installation
From source
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/holgern/pydrime.git
cd pydrime
# Install in development mode
pip install -e .
# Or install with dev dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"
Configuration
Before using the tool, you need to configure your Drime Cloud API credentials.
Recommended: Use pydrime init Command
The easiest way to configure your API key:
pydrime init
This will:
- Prompt you for your API key
- Validate the key with Drime Cloud
- Store it securely in
~/.config/pydrime/config - Set appropriate file permissions (owner read/write only)
Alternative Configuration Methods
Option 1: Environment Variable
export DRIME_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
Option 2: .env File
Create a .env file in your project directory:
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and add your API key
Option 3: Command-line Argument
Pass the API key directly when running commands:
pydrime upload /path/to/file --api-key "your_api_key_here"
Configuration Priority
The tool checks for API keys in the following order (highest to lowest priority):
- Command-line
--api-keyargument DRIME_API_KEYenvironment variable~/.config/pydrime/configfile- Local
.envfile
Usage
Initial Setup
Configure your API key (first time only):
pydrime init
Check Connection Status
Verify your API key and connection:
pydrime status

List Workspaces
pydrime workspaces
Sync Files
Synchronize local directory with Drime Cloud:
# Default two-way sync
pydrime sync ./my_folder
# Sync with specific remote path
pydrime sync ./docs -r remote_docs
# Preview sync changes (dry run)
pydrime sync ./data --dry-run
# Using sync modes explicitly (format: local:mode:remote)
pydrime sync /home/user/docs:twoWay:/Documents
pydrime sync ./backup:localBackup:/Backup
Sync Modes:
twoWay(tw) - Mirror changes in both directionslocalToCloud(ltc) - Upload local changes onlylocalBackup(lb) - Upload to cloud, never deletecloudToLocal(ctl) - Download cloud changes onlycloudBackup(cb) - Download from cloud, never delete
Ignore Files (.pydrignore):
You can exclude files from sync and upload operations by creating .pydrignore files.
These work like .gitignore files with support for gitignore-style patterns:
# Example .pydrignore file
*.log # Ignore all .log files
node_modules/ # Ignore node_modules directory
!important.log # But keep important.log
/build # Ignore build only at root
**/cache/** # Ignore cache directories anywhere
.pydrignore files are hierarchical - rules in subdirectories can override parent
rules.
Find Duplicates
Find and optionally delete duplicate files:
# Show duplicates (dry run)
pydrime find-duplicates
# Find in specific folder recursively
pydrime find-duplicates --folder "My Documents" --recursive
# Actually delete duplicates (moves to trash)
pydrime find-duplicates --delete
Storage Usage
Check your storage usage:
pydrime usage
Vault Commands
The vault provides encrypted file storage with client-side encryption:
# Show vault information
pydrime vault show
# Unlock vault for current session
eval $(pydrime vault unlock)
# List vault files
pydrime vault ls
pydrime vault ls MyFolder
# Upload file to vault (will prompt for password)
pydrime vault upload secret.txt
pydrime vault upload document.pdf -f MyFolder
# Download file from vault
pydrime vault download secret.txt
pydrime vault download secret.txt -o decrypted.txt
# Delete vault file
pydrime vault rm secret.txt
# Lock vault (clear password from session)
eval $(pydrime vault lock)

API Integration Notes
This tool is designed to work with the Drime Cloud API. The current implementation includes placeholder endpoints that need to be updated based on the actual API documentation.
TODO: Update API Endpoints
The following files contain placeholder API endpoints that should be updated once the API documentation is available:
pydrime/api.py: Updateupload_file(),create_directory(), andlist_files()endpoints- Authentication method may need adjustment based on actual API requirements
Troubleshooting
"API key not configured" Error
Make sure you've set the DRIME_API_KEY environment variable or created a .env file
with your API key.
Permission Denied Errors
If you encounter permission errors when scanning directories, the tool will skip those files and continue with accessible ones.
API Connection Issues
Verify that:
- Your API key is valid
- You have internet connectivity
- The Drime Cloud API is accessible (not behind a firewall)
