SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive']
CREDENTIALS_FILEPATH = 'credentials.json'
DOWNLOAD_DIR = 'download_dir/'
UPLOAD_DIR = 'upload_dir/'
gdrive_object = Gdrive(CREDENTIALS_FILEPATH, SCOPES, DOWNLOAD_DIR, UPLOAD_DIR)
File management made easy
Upload file to certain folder:
Make sure that folder exist and filename appears in UPLOAD_DIR
folder_id, _ = gdrive_object.find_folder('coingecko')
gdrive_object.upload_file(folder_id, 'filename.extension')
Create folder:
parent_id = 'PARENT ID'
folder_id = gdrive_object.create_folder(parent_id, 'folder_name')
Make sure that DOWNLOAD_DIR exist and filename.extension in google drive folder.
file_id, file_name = gdrive_object.find_file('filename.extension')
gdrive_object.download_file(file_id, file_name)
After uploading/downloading files you should expect uploaded/downloaded file.
