Move files between your machines

Use your Google Drive as storage and justdrive as the courier. Sign in once on the web, then any VPS can pull a short-lived token.

How it works

Connect Google Drive on the website. Machines you approve later use that one connection instead of signing in to Google themselves.

justdrive login on a headless VPS prints a short code. Approve it from your laptop.

justdrive login

Every machine gets its own token. Revoke one and it stops getting Drive access immediately.

Machines get short-lived Google tokens and talk to Drive directly. We only record what happened.

One juststore folder in your Drive, so every machine sees the same files.

Send a file to another machine by name. It waits in that machine’s inbox.
