Example: Unsync Files by Extension, Size, or Days Old

If you'd like to script unsynchronizing your files to free up disk space, you can use these scripts. Note that unsync is a premium feature, so you need to have an odrive Premium account to use it.

Usage: unsync_by [-e <extension>] [-s <size in kilobytes>] [-d <days>] [-p <directory path>] [-r]

Help: Unsync files by extension, size exceeded, or days old for a given directory

Options:
-e, -extension Unsyncs files with the specified extension
-s, -size Unsyncs files larger than the specified size in kilobytes
-d, -days Unsyncs files older than the specified day
-p, -dirpath The specified path
-r, -recursive Unsyncs files recursively through the specified path
-h, -help Help

These instructions were originally posted in this blog post which you can read for additional information.

NOTE: The Windows PowerShell version of the script will detect to make sure your odrive CLI binary is in the correct path (and if not, it will download it automatically). The bash version for Mac and Linux does not have this capability.
