Google Drive Bulk File Uploader

Description

This Python script allows for bulk uploading of files from a specified local directory to a Google Drive folder. It handles authentication, supports large files by uploading in chunks, and provides a real-time progress bar for each file upload.

Requirements

• Google Drive API enabled in your Google Cloud project.
• credentials.json from the Google Developer Console for OAuth2 authentication.
• Python libraries: google-auth-oauthlib, google-api-python-client, tqdm.

Setup

1. Place your credentials.json file in the same directory as the script.
2. Install required libraries:

pip install google-auth-oauthlib google-api-python-client tqdm

Usage

1. Run the script once to authenticate and save the authentication token:

python UploadFiles.py

2. Modify folder_id in the script with the ID of the target Google Drive folder.
3. Change source_folder to the path of your local directory containing the files to upload.
4. Re-run the script to start uploading files.

Features

• Bulk uploads files from a specified directory.
• Handles large files with chunked uploads.
• Displays upload progress with a real-time progress bar.

Notes

• If modifying the OAuth scopes, delete token.pickle to re-authenticate.
• Ensure your Google Drive API and billing are properly set up in the Google Cloud Console.
