To delete old media files on Google Drive that were uploaded by motioneye, download cleancloud folder and copy it to your pi somewhere, for example to /home/pi. Then add a cron job as follows:
sudo crontab -e
0 0 * * * python /home/pi/cleancloud/cleancloud.py
Some assumptions are:
- upload service is working ok
- file persistence is working ok
- camera id is
1 - service name is
gdrive
Following functions are added in uploadservices.py
- clean_cloud()
- exist_in_local()
- get_local_folders()
- GoogleDrive.clean_cloud()
- GoogleDrive._get_children()
- GoogleDrive._delete_child()
- GoogleDrive._get_file_metadata()
- GoogleDrive._get_file_title()
Also _request() function was modified to accept a new optional parameter method to override the default GET.
Periodically codes here will compare media folders in local and cloud and will delete a cloud folder that does not exist in local as it must be an old folder that was deleted by motioneye as configured by users' file persistence setting.
