Keep GDrive.py and client_secret.json in same dir. Better if you add them in path.

Run Usage :
python GDrive.py list (list all files with their IDs)
python GDrive.py upload path (if path is file, uploads it. if path is dir, uploads empty dir)
python GDrive.py upload path R (path should be dir. dir is uploaded recursively. all files and sub dirs are uploaded)
python GDrive.py delete id (delete file or dir with given id)
python GDrive.py download id (download dir or file with given id to current dir)
python GDrive.py download id path (download dir or file with given id to given path on local machine)
python GDrive.py share id email (share file or dir with given id with email)

method = sys.argv[1]

IndexError: list index out of range

Hello I am trying to upload files to google drive by using your codes.
But I found an error above.
Could you explain what kinds of files I need to put into the same path?
Thank you so much!

and if you want to download any file then you can use the full path as described....
python googledrive.py download 0B2dKgMvsrJBbS291YlMzZV9YSGM "C:\Users\shyam\Desktop\GoogleDrivePython\out"

How to return the folder id based on folder name

I have already installed the Google drive api client yet i m getting this error.

If you'd like to "update" an existing file you can use the code in my fork to do so.

add the following value on line 76, it works for me:

http.redirect_codes = http.redirect_codes - {308}

add the following value on line 19, it works for me:

from oauth2client import file
