Blog Media Sync to Google Drive

Syncs media files from library/ and projects/ in ~/projects/dn-blog/ to Google Drive using rclone. Only uploads whitelisted media extensions — code, JSON, and text files are excluded.

Prerequisites

1. rclone installed (brew install rclone)
2. gdrive remote configured pointing to the target folder:

   # Set GDRIVE_BLOG_FOLDER_ID in ~/.claude/.env first, then:
   rclone config create gdrive drive root_folder_id $GDRIVE_BLOG_FOLDER_ID
   

3. Global filter set up to exclude .DS_Store files:
   • Filter file: ~/.config/rclone/rclone-filter.txt
   • Env var: RCLONE_FILTER_FROM in ~/.zshrc

Media filter

Only these extensions are synced:

--include "*.mp4" --include "*.mov" --include "*.webm"
--include "*.wav" --include "*.mp3" --include "*.m4a" --include "*.aac" --include "*.flac"
--include "*.jpg" --include "*.jpeg" --include "*.png" --include "*.gif" --include "*.webp"
--include "*.psd" --include "*.ai" --include "*.svg"

Upload media to Google Drive

# Sync both library/ and projects/ media
rclone copy ~/projects/dn-blog/library/ gdrive:library/ --include "*.mp4" --include "*.mov" --include "*.webm" --include "*.wav" --include "*.mp3" --include "*.m4a" --include "*.aac" --include "*.flac" --include "*.jpg" --include "*.jpeg" --include "*.png" --include "*.gif" --include "*.webp" --include "*.psd" --include "*.ai" --include "*.svg" --progress
