Why did I build it?
I’m excited to share one of my latest projects, Pytransfer. Like everyone else, I sometimes need to send large files through email. It’s a hassle most of the time. Go to WeTransfer, upload and select the file or folder, enter some email addresses, and wait. I hate this workflow, so I came up with a more elegant solution using a Python script and Google Drive.

How does it work?
After cloning the repo and installing the dependencies, all you need to do is open your terminal, navigate to the directory containing the file you want to upload, and execute a single command:

# Bash command:
python pytransfer.py <file_name>

Want to try Pytransfer?
Ready to give Pytransfer a try? Head over to the GitHub repository and get started with effortless file uploads to Google Drive. I hope you find Pytransfer as useful as I do. Happy uploading!
