Upload Files to Google Drive using Javascript

News

At October 11, 2019, I published a Javascript library to to run the resumable upload for Google Drive. When this is used, the large file can be uploaded. You can also use this js library.

Description

This is a sample script for uploading files to Google Drive using Javascript. The files are uploaded by Drive API v3. gapi.client.drive.files.create() can create an empty file on Google Drive. But it cannot directly upload files including contents. I think that this might not be able to upload files and metadata with the multipart/related, although this might be resolved by the future update. So now, as one of workarounds, I use using XMLHttpRequest.

• This sample uses gapi.
• Before you use this, please enable Drive API at API console and carr

function getJSON(aUrl,sheetname) {
  //var sheetname = "test";
  //var aUrl = "http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=286bbb1d8d30f65b54173b3b752fa4d9&_render=json";
  var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(aUrl); // get feed
  var dataAll = JSON.parse(response.getContentText()); //
  var data = dataAll.value.items;
  for (i in data){
    data[i].pubDate = new Date(data[i].pubDate);
    data[i].start = data[i].pubDate;
  }
