A terminal-based Python application that lets you upload files from your local machine to your Google Drive account. Built using the Google Drive API and OAuth 2.0 for authentication.

• Upload any file to your Google Drive using the terminal
• Secure authentication with OAuth2
• Saves token for future use (no need to log in every time)
• Perfect for simple backups or automation

Make sure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.7+
• pip

1. Clone or download this repository to your system: git clone https://github.com/your-username/google-drive-uploader.git cd google-drive-uploader

2. Install the required modules: pip install -r requirements.txt

You must provide a client_secret.json file:

1. Go to the Google Cloud Console.
2. Create a project (or use an existing one).
3. Go to APIs & Services > Credentials.
4. Click Create Credentials > OAuth Client ID.
5. Select Desktop App, then download the client_secret.json.
6. Place it in the same folder as main.py.

If you're not the developer (e.g. you're a coursemate), ask the developer to add your Gmail to the test users list under the OAuth Consent Screen.

1. Run the program: python main.py

2. Add the file you want to upload in the upload folder.

3.The app will:

• Ask you to log into your Google account the first time (opens in browser).
• Create a token file (token.pickle) for future uploads.
• Ask for the file path of what you want to upload.
• Upload it to your Google Drive root folder.

4. Done! The terminal will confirm the upload and show you the file name.

• If you're using this for the first time:
• You'll be redirected to your browser for Google login.
• Make sure your Gmail is approved as a test user by the developer.
• A token.pickle file will be generated automatically for reuse.

• If your token.pickle gets deleted, you'll need to log in again.
• This project uses the drive.file scope, meaning it can only see/edit files created by this app.
• Do not rename client_secret.json unless you also change the name in main.py.
