Upload a File to Google Drive

Run the following block once to authenticate and generate a token.json. This will persist your session using the refresh_token.

//exec: node
const path = require('path');
const fs = require('fs');
const { google } = require('googleapis');
const { authenticate } = require('@google-cloud/local-auth');

const CREDENTIALS_PATH = path.join(__dirname, 'oauth2-drive.keys.json');
const TOKEN_PATH = path.join(__dirname, 'token.json');
const FILE_PATH = path.join(__dirname, 'FILE_TO_UPLOAD.png');

const SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file'];

async function loadSavedCredentialsIfExist() {
  try {
    const content = fs.readFileSync(TOKEN_PATH, 'utf8');
    const credentials = JSON.parse(content);
    return google.auth.fromJSON(credentials);
  } catch {
    return null;
  }
}

async function saveCredentials(auth) {
  const content = fs.readFileSync(CREDENTIALS_PATH, 'utf8');
  const keys = JSON.parse(content).installed;
  const payload = JSON.stringify({
    type: 'authorized_user',
    client_id: keys.client_id,
    client_secret: keys.client_secret,
    refresh_token: auth.credentials.refresh_token,
  });
  fs.writeFileSync(TOKEN_PATH, payload);
}

async function authorize() {
  let auth = await loadSavedCredentialsIfExist();
  if (!auth) {
    auth = await authenticate({ scopes: SCOPES, keyfilePath: CREDENTIALS_PATH });
    if (auth.credentials) await saveCredentials(auth);
  }
  return auth;
}

// Main logic
const auth = await authorize();
google.options({ auth });

const drive = google.drive({ version: 'v3', auth });

const response = await drive.files.create({
  requestBody: {
    name: 'FILE_TO_UPLOAD.png',
    mimeType: 'image/png',
  },
  media: {
    mimeType: 'image/png',
    body: fs.createReadStream(FILE_PATH),
  },
});

console.log('Uploaded file:', response.data);

// Example delete:
// await drive.files.delete({ fileId: 'your-file-id' });
