cloudfile

Cloud File CLI is a command-line utility for interacting with cloud-stored files on macOS. It allows users to materialize (download) or evict (remove locally while keeping in the cloud) files using Apple's NSFileManager.

Forked from kevincar/cloudfile. Added a synchronous option that is useful for use cases where the next command depends on the file being available locally (e.g. a backup script).

Usage

cloudfile <command> <file-path>

Commands

• materialize - Downloads the file from the cloud
• materialize-sync - Downloads the file from the cloud synchronously (blocks until the file is fully downloaded)
• evict - Removes the local copy while retaining it in the cloud
