Requires a Baidu Netdisk account and familiarity with command-line interfaces to log in and start managing files.
BaiduPCS-Go is a command-line tool for managing files on Baidu Netdisk, China's most popular cloud storage service. Instead of using a graphical interface with buttons and menus, you interact with it by typing text commands, similar to how power users navigate files on Linux or macOS. This particular fork extends the original project with a built-in web server. It's useful if you want to download, upload, or organize your cloud files more efficiently than the standard Baidu app allows, or if you want to automate file transfers without clicking through a graphical interface. At a high level, it works by mimicking the Linux shell environment. Once you launch it and log into your Baidu account, you get a text prompt where you type commands to navigate and manipulate your cloud storage. You can move between folders, search for files, download multiple files at once, and upload local files including very large ones. Downloads support resuming if they get interrupted, and you can configure how many parallel connections to use for faster speeds. It also supports Baidu's offline download feature for fetching files from the web directly to your cloud storage. The tool is built for people who are comfortable with command-line interfaces and want more control over their Baidu cloud storage than the official app provides. For example, someone managing large video files could use it to upload entire directories or batch-download content without waiting on the official client's slower, more constrained interface. It also supports multiple Baidu accounts, so you can switch between them easily. The project runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and even mobile devices, though the README notes mobile use is cumbersome and not recommended. One notable feature is the "rapid upload" or instant transfer capability, which lets you upload a file to your cloud storage without actually transferring the full file data, as long as an identical file already exists somewhere on Baidu's servers. The tool can also export file metadata to share or back up your cloud directory structure. The README notes some known issues with how Baidu's servers calculate file checksums during chunked uploads, though the actual file integrity remains intact.
