Auto-upload results to Google Drive

[Mr0grog]

At the end of the day, we currently put the output of this tool up on Google Drive for analysts to use. That’s a totally by-hand process. I’d like to automate running this tool on a weekly basis, and part of that means automating the upload to Google Drive.

There is obviously the Google Python Client, but usage and configuration always feels overcomplicated to me. There are a few CLI tools that might be easier for this very simple use-case:

• Gdrive has a lot of articles recommending it, although I’m not sure about maintenance — there are a lot of sitting PRs and no updates in over a year.
• Rclone has support for Google Drive. I’ve used it before (with other services) and it seems pretty good.

Either way will require some config complexity since Google Drive only supports interactive auth. Both have instructions for how to do this in their docs, though.

See also the ways we’d integrate this:

• Dockerize this so it can run as a scheduled AWS ECS #6
• Add GH workflow for running analysis #18
