SYNOPSIS
skicka command [options] [args]
DESCRIPTION
skicka is a command-line client for Google Drive that provides Unix-like file operations including upload, download, listing, directory creation, and deletion. It supports recursive operations for transferring entire folder hierarchies.
A notable feature is client-side encryption (-encrypt), which encrypts files locally before uploading to Google Drive, ensuring that stored data remains private even from the cloud provider. The tool is written in Go and distributed as a single binary.
