drive_api

This Python program is used to interact with Google Drive using the Google Drive API. It allows you to initialize a service, get a folder ID by its name, and list all files in a specific folder.

Usage

0. Pre-requisites

1. Import the necessary classes from the drive_api module:

from drive_api import ServiceAccountDrive
ServiceAccountDriveInstance = ServiceAccountDrive()

2. Initialize the Google Drive service:

cred = "path_to_your_credentials_file.json"
service, credentials = ServiceAccountDriveInstance.initialize_drive_service(creds=cred)

In this step, replace "path_to_your_credentials_file.json" with the path to your Google Drive API credentials file.

3. Get the folder ID by its name:

folder_id = ServiceAccountDrive.get_folder_id_by_name("Folder Name")

Replace "Folder Name" with the name of the folder you're interested in.

4. List all files in a specific folder:

files = ServiceAccountDrive.list_files_in_folder(folder_id)

Replace folder_id with the folder ID you got in the previous step.

5. Download file from drive

ServiceAccountDrive.download_file_from_drive("file_id", "path/to/save")

Replace file_id with the file ID and replace path/to/save with saved path
