It would be nice to have an option that disables overwriting newer files with older ones.

I couldn't agree more. I've just started using jdrivesync, in my naivety i thought it would check modified dates, and now have lost a couple of hours work on a word doc.
Other that this, great utility, thanks for developing!

I agree, it would be wonderful to have that option, or at least the option to make a copy of local files being updated (as I think there is a similar option for deleted files).

I always had to think carefully if I need to download or upload before start working with google drive files.
Now I have added this to my download script, to make a backup before downloading. Sadly it copy all the files, not just the updated ones.

LOCALDIR=$HOME/googledrive/sync
REMOTEDIR=/sync
#bk
BKDIR=$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)
cp -ar "$LOCALDIR" "$LOCALDIR/../bk/$BKDIR"
#Run
