I had two files that had been restored from an old backup into my grive folder and I needed to download the newer versions from Drive.
I used grive --force but it uploaded the two old versions on my computer rather than overwriting them with the online versions, and I lost all the changes that I'd made over the past week.
I think that the issue was that the --force argument requires a filename argument, but it is not stated in the --help that this is the case (I thought that it applied to the entire sync). The documentation should mention that an argument should be given to prevent people from making the same mistake.
It would also be nice if --force applied to the entire sync if no argument was given.
