I want to upload a file to multi folder google driver via API but only one file will be save, not each file for each folder. (1 file in serveral folder)
Example using by hand: Add the Same File to Multiple Folders in Google Drive without Copying
Could you please help me! Thank you!
In inserting a file in a folder, you need to specify the correct folder ID in the parents property of the file. Using Python:
folder_id = '0BwwA4oUTeiV1TGRPeTVjaWRDY1E'
file_metadata = {
'name' : 'photo.jpg',
'parents': [ folder_id ]
}
media = MediaFileUpload('files/photo.jpg',
mimetype='image/jpeg',
resumable=True)
file = drive_service.files().create(body=file_metadata,
media_body=media,
fields='id').execute()
print 'File ID: %s' % file.get('id')
As further mentioned in Files: insert, setting the parents[] property in the request body will put the file in all of the provided folders. If no folders are provided in parents[] field, the file will be placed in the default root folder.
Hope that helps!
