Why?

For all my friends using my TDs who now need to store everything in it instead of their Drive.

Setting up config file (present in bot/config.py)

• BOT_TOKEN : The telegram bot token that you get from @BotFather
• GDRIVE_FOLDER_ID : This is the folder ID of the Google Drive Folder to which you want to clone.
• OWNER_ID : The Telegram user ID (not username) of the owner of the bot (if you do not have that, send /id to @kelverbot )
• IS_TEAM_DRIVE : (Optional field) Set to True if GDRIVE_FOLDER_ID is from a Team Drive else False or Leave it empty.
• USE_SERVICE_ACCOUNTS: (Optional field) (Leave empty if unsure) Whether to use service accounts or not. For this to work see "Using service accounts" section below.
• INDEX_URL : (Optional field) Refer to https://github.com/maple3142/GDIndex/ The URL should not have any trailing '/'

Getting Google OAuth API credential file

• Visit the Google Cloud Console
• Go to the OAuth Consent tab, fill it, and save.
• Go to the Credentials tab and click Create Credentials -> OAuth Client ID
• Choose Other and Create.
• Use the download button to download your credentials.
• Move that file to the root of clone-bot, and rename it to credentials.json
• Visit Google API page
• Search for Drive and enable it if it is disabled
• Finally, run the script to generate token file (token.pickle) for Google Drive:

pip install google-api-python-client google-auth-httplib2 google-auth-oauthlib
python3 generate_drive_token.py

Running

• To run this bot (locally) (suggested)

python3 -m bot

• Deploying to Heroku (Optional) (Not Suitable for very big Clones!)

Using service accounts for uploading to avoid user rate limit

For Service Account to work, you must set USE_SERVICE_ACCOUNTS=True in config file or environment variables Many thanks to AutoRClone for the scripts

Generating service accounts

Step 1. Generate service accounts What is service account

Let us create only the service accounts that we need. Warning: abuse of this feature is not the aim of autorclone and we do NOT recommend that you make a lot of projects, just one project and 100 sa allow you plenty of use, its also possible that overabuse might get your projects banned by google.

Note: 1 service account can copy around 750gb a day, 1 project makes 100 service accounts so thats 75tb a day, for most users this should easily suffice. 

python3 gen_sa_accounts.py --quick-setup 1 --new-only

A folder named accounts will be created which will contain keys for the service accounts created

NOTE: If you have created SAs in past from this script, you can also just re download the keys by running:

python3 gen_sa_accounts.py --download-keys project_id

Add all the service accounts to the Team Drive or folder

• Run:

python3 add_to_team_drive.py -d SharedTeamDriveSrcID
