HKOS Drive Publisher

A private, single-user publishing tool. It is not offered to the public.

What it does

HKOS Drive Publisher runs on its owner's own home server. About every 15 minutes it copies a small set of automatically generated technical status reports about that server (Markdown and JSON text files) into one folder in the owner's own Google Drive, so the owner can read the current reports from Google Drive.

Before anything is uploaded, the reports are checked for completeness and scanned for credentials. After uploading, the tool reads back each file's size and checksum from Google Drive to confirm the copy is intact.

Google Drive access

The tool requests a single Google permission, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file. With this permission Google only lets the tool see and change the files and folders the tool itself created. It cannot read, list, change or delete any other file in the Google Drive account.

It is used with one Google account only: the owner's.

Privacy

How the tool handles Google user data is described in the privacy policy.
