@Pheggas Could you post an error maybe? I am guessing it has something to do with needing to escape some characters in $sourceItem.Name, but I'm not setup to test right now.

@ConnorGriffin Thank you for quick response. In any way, i fixed it by specifying -LiteralPath in Get-Item command so it wouldn't grap square brackets in filename as wildcard.

Hey, it's me again. I'm currently having issues with uploading files to folders that are shared with me, instead of folders that i own. In my drive, it is okay and upload is successful but as soon as i want to upload to folder that is shared with me, it throws 404, file not found:

Invoke-RestMethod : {
  "error": {
    "code": 404,
    "message": "File not found: 13To6qyCukFwe0G9[redacted]KG9Fn.",

        "location": "fileId",
        "locationType": "parameter"
      }
    ]
  }

@Pheggas I can't really say what's going on. If you provided the parentId in the upload metadata, and you have rights to upload to that folder, then I'm not sure.

I wrapped up some of the code from this Gist in to a module, you can poke around the code in there and see if anything is different. I still use this in some stuff occasionally, but I haven't looked at the code in long time. https://github.com/ConnorGriffin/PS-GDrive/blob/master/PS-GDrive/Public/New-GDriveItem.ps1

$uploadMetadata = @{
    originalFilename = $sourceItem.Name
    parents = @($parentId)
    description = $sourceItem.VersionInfo.FileDescription
    useContentAsIndexableText = $UseContentAsIndexableText
}

Hello, i noticed the same thing. When you are in your shared folder, you need to take the ID in the end of the URL https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GeOflixv5rTkMUnwMmcD and paste it here:

$uploadMetadata = @{
originalFilename = $sourceItem.Name
name = $sourceItem.Name
description = $sourceItem.VersionInfo.FileDescription
parents = @(1GeOflixv5rTkMUnwMmcD) #the id which is in the end of the url
}

Hello,
Faced the problem uploading large file >2g

The error information returned by PowerShell is: 'Exception calling "ToBase64String" with "1" argument(s): "Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown
as i understand problem caused by using 'ReadAllBytes'

Thanks a lot)
with small files this code works well
