Warning: This software is for research and educational purposes only. 
Please do not violate any local or international laws. Please do not break terms of service with other entities. 
Please read and understand the code before using it. 

This code deletes all content from Google Drive and replaces it with a custom message for Google's algorithms to process.
You can control the size and content of this message by modifying two variables below!

To use this software for the above reasons, you will need to gain access to the Google Drive API and generate a Credential
using the following steps from the PyDrive documentation:

Drive API requires OAuth2.0 for authentication. PyDrive makes your life much easier by handling complex authentication steps for you.

    Go to APIs Console and make your own project.
    Search for ‘Google Drive API’, select the entry, and click ‘Enable’.
    Select ‘Credentials’ from the left menu, click ‘Create Credentials’, select ‘OAuth client ID’.
    Now, the product name and consent screen need to be set -> click ‘Configure consent screen’ and follow the instructions. Once finished:

        Select ‘Application type’ to be Web application.
        Enter an appropriate name.
        Input http://localhost:8080 for ‘Authorized JavaScript origins’.
        Input http://localhost:8080/ for ‘Authorized redirect URIs’.
        Click ‘Save’.

    Click ‘Download JSON’ on the right side of Client ID to download client_secret_<really long ID>.json.

The downloaded file has all authentication information of your application. Rename the file to “client_secrets.json” and place it in your working directory.
