Hi @j.thalbach,
No, odrive would need access to the file locally in order to upload it.

Can you explain your use case a bit more? What is an example of what you would like to do?

Thanks for the added details @j.thalbach! It is an interesting use case.

Surely you can upload a file directly to Google Drive without using odrive. The problem then is to prevent odrive from syncing to your local drive. Or have I missed something in this scenario?

Hi,

In my native Google Drive there is a service called “remote upload” from Offcloud which can be accessed by New > Remote Upload (Offcloud). Where is it in Odrive?

Hi @j.thalbach,
odrive doesn’t have this feature.
