Key Features

1. Relative path simplicity
   Use paths relative to your project’s main cloud folder.

cloud_drive_download("raw_data/transactions.xlsx")  

1. Unified interface for Google Drive and S3
   Downloading from S3? The process is just as straightforward.

cloud_s3_download("raw_data/transactions.xlsx")  

1. Extension-aware functions
   The package automatically selects the right read or write function based on the file extension, simplifying your interactions.

cloud_s3_write(glmnet_model, "models/glmnet.rds")  

If you don’t like the default function, you can use a different one by explicitly calling it.

cloud_s3_write(glmnet_model, "models/glmnet.rds", fun = readr::write_rds)  

1. Effortless cloud navigation
   Open folders in browser

cloud_drive_browse("plots")  

or list contents in console. 5. Bulk file management
Easily retrieve all data from a folder in one go

all_data <-  
  cloud_s3_ls("data") %>%  
  cloud_s3_read_bulk()  

or push multiple files to the cloud at once.

cloud_local_ls("plots") %>% cloud_drive_upload_bulk()
