GoogleDrivePythonLibrary

This library allows you to easily interact with Drive, as it was a common file system. Create folders, upload files, remove files, list directories and more. Also, it understands string paths, like 'path/to/folder/foo.txt' This is created as a way to notably increase the easiness of the official Google Drive API library, by adding a set of high-level methods.

References

Methods

Low level methods

  • Init a service from your client_secret (reference)
  • List all files (folders are also considered files) matching a query (reference)
  • List all entries under a directory, understanding a string path syntax (e.g. 'path/to/folder/')
  • List folders under a parent ID
  • List all files under a parent ID
  • Delete all folders with a given name and parentID
  • Delete all files with a given name and parentID
  • getFileNameById: get a file name from its ID.
  • getMimeTypeById: get a file MIME type from its ID.

High level methods

  • getFileId: get a file ID from string path.
  • serchFile: return the basic attributes of a file (id, name, size, mimeType, modifiedTime, parents) from a string path.
  • copyToFolder: copy a file to another folder. This understands string paths.
  • moveToFolder: move a file to another folder. This understands string paths.
  • rename: rename a file
  • createFolder: create a folder under the root location of Drive. Understands string paths, and you can created nested folder in a way: e.g. createFolder('/my/new/folder') will create a new folder root->my->new->folder
  • uploadFile: upload a file to an existing remote folder, allowing you to specify a different name. Example, upload_file('foo.txt','foo2.txt', dest='my/folder') will create the new file my/folder/foo2.txt with the content of foo.txt
  • remove: remove a file by string path, e.g. remove('/my/path/foo.txt')
  • sync: automatically synchronize a local folder with a remote drive folder. I will traverse recursively the local folder, recreating the folders structure in the remote, and uploading/updating files if size is different or modification time is newer in local. Example: sync('my/local/folder','/remote/folder/'). In this context, the dealing / in the remote path stands for the root folder of Drive.
