Uploading Files From Local To Google Drive by Python without Quickstart

This is a sample script for uploading files from local PC to Google Drive using Python. In this sample, Quickstart is not used. So when you use this script, please retrieve access token.

Curl sample :

curl -X POST \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ### access token ###" \
    -F "metadata={name : 'sample.png', parents: ['### folder ID ###']};type=application/json;charset=UTF-8" \
    -F "file=@sample.png;type=image/png" \
    "https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=multipart"

]

Python sample :

When above curl sample is converted to Python, it becomes as follows.

import json
import requests
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer ### access token ###"}
para = {
    "name": "sample.png",
    "parents": ["### folder ID ###"]
}
files = {
    'data': ('metadata', json.dumps(para), 'application/json; charset=UTF-8'),
    'file': open("./sample.png", "rb")
}
r = requests.post(
    "https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=multipart",
    headers=headers,
    files=files
)
print(r.text)

Can any one help me to solve this error..

`import json
import requests
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer MY Access Token"}
para = {
"name": "sample.png",
}
files = {
'data': ('metadata', json.dumps(para), 'application/json; charset=UTF-8'),
'file': open("./testing.png", "rb")
}
r = requests.post(
"https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=multipart",
headers=headers,
files=files
)
print(r.text)

Error :

ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)`

The Code is same as above but I'm getting this error..
