🏃‍♂️‍➡️🫛📦 DriveSend Setup Node Instructions (RunPod & Cloud Users)

Using Service Account authentication (recommended for cloud):

1. Upload your service_account.json to a secure location on your pod, or encode it as base64 and store as an environment variable.

2. Open the 'DriveSend Setup Node' in your ComfyUI and configure:

   • auth_method [ service_account ]
   • service_account_json [ path to service_account.json OR leave blank if using env var ]
   • folder_id [ paste your Google Drive folder ID ]
   • storage_method [ display_only ]
   • encryption_key_method [ Display Only ] (or off if not needed)

3. Click 'Run' on the node. Note the returned credentials in the terminal:

GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER_ID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON=<base64 encoded or path>
comfyui_encryption_key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (if encryption enabled)

4. For RunPod users, create secrets:

   Secret Name	Secret Value
   GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER_ID	Your folder ID
   GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON	Base64-encoded service account JSON
   comfyui_encryption_key	Your encryption key (if using encryption)

5. Add Environment Variables to your RunPod Pod:

   • GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER_ID → {{ RUNPOD_SECRET_GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER_ID }}

🔑📦 Encryption Key Management

If you enable encryption in the DriveSend AutoUploader Node, an encryption key is generated during setup (unless encryption_key_method is off). This key is required to decrypt .enc files downloaded from Google Drive.

Saving the Encryption Key

Display Only (Recommended for Cloud):

If encryption_key_method is Display Only, the key is shown in the console:

comfyui_encryption_key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Copy the key and store it securely using one of the methods below.

Save to .env (Recommended for Local):

If encryption_key_method is save to .env, the key is saved in ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI_DriveSendNode/.env as:

comfyui_encryption_key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ensure the .env file is excluded from version control (add to .gitignore).

🔐📁 Standalone Decryption Scripts (Local Use Only)

The /scripts/ folder contains standalone scripts to decrypt files on your local machine.

⚠️ These scripts are for LOCAL USE ONLY. Run them on your personal computer after downloading or syncing encrypted files from Google Drive. Do not run on cloud instances.

What Are These Scripts For?

Decryption Scripts — The primary scripts. Use these on your local machine to decrypt .enc files you've downloaded/synced from Google Drive. When encryption is enabled in the DriveSend node, your files are uploaded as encrypted .enc files. These scripts restore them to their original format so you can view and use them.

Encryption Scripts — Optional utility scripts. You do NOT need these for normal DriveSend operation—the node handles encryption automatically during upload. These are provided for users who want to manually encrypt local files for backup or other purposes using the same key.

Supported File Types

The scripts support all formats the DriveSend node handles:

• Images: .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .webp, .gif
• Videos: .mp4, .avi, .mov

When decrypting, the original file extension is preserved (e.g., video.mp4.enc → video.mp4).

Prerequisites (All Platforms)

Python 3.8+ and the cryptography library are required:

pip install cryptography

3. Fill in the fields:
   • Keychain Item Name: DriveSend_Encryption_Key
   • Account Name: DriveSend
   • Password: Paste your encryption key
4. Click Add

Running the Scripts

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI_DriveSendNode/scripts
chmod +x decrypt_folder_mac.sh
./decrypt_folder_mac.sh

---

🪟 Windows Setup & Usage

Storing Your Encryption Key

1. Press Win + R, type sysdm.cpl, press Enter
2. Go to Advanced tab → Environment Variables
3. Under User variables, click New
4. Set:
   • Variable name: DRIVESEND_ENCRYPTION_KEY
   • Variable value: Your encryption key
5. Click OK and restart any open terminals

Running the Scripts

cd ComfyUI\custom_nodes\ComfyUI_DriveSendNode\scripts
python decrypt_folder_win.py

---

🐧 Linux Setup & Usage

Storing Your Encryption Key

Add to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:

export DRIVESEND_ENCRYPTION_KEY="your_encryption_key_here"

Then reload: source ~/.bashrc

Running the Scripts

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI_DriveSendNode/scripts
chmod +x decrypt_folder_linux.sh
./decrypt_folder_linux.sh

---

🔄 Cross-Platform Python Script (Alternative)

For maximum compatibility, use the Python script directly on any platform:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI_DriveSendNode/scripts
python decrypt_folder.py

---

⚠️ Security Best Practices

1. Never commit your .env file - Ensure .env is in your .gitignore
2. Never commit service_account.json or credentials.json - These contain sensitive credentials
3. Never commit token.json - This contains your OAuth tokens
4. Use secure key storage - Prefer OS-native credential storage over plain text files
5. Backup your encryption key - Without it, encrypted files cannot be recovered
6. Restrict service account permissions - Only share specific folders, not your entire Drive
