Node.js Google Drive API

Description

This API provides endpoints to upload and download files from Google Drive. The API offers two routes:

Upload Files: http://localhost:8082/upload

Download Files: http://localhost:8082/download

Both endpoints expect a JSON body with an array named files, containing the full names of the files.

Files will be downloaded to the downloaded-files folder inside google-drive-services, and only files inside the temp folder can be uploaded to Google Drive. You can change these paths accordingly in google_drive_functions.js.

Prerequisites

Before you can use this API, you need to configure it by following these steps:

Google Drive Setup:

Create a project in the Google Developer Console. Enable the Google Drive API for your project. Create OAuth 2.0 credentials and download the client_secret.json file.

Configuration:

Navigate to the google-drive-services folder and open google_drive_functions.js. Make the following changes:

Configuration Steps

1- Set the Google Drive Folder ID:

Line 7: Replace 'folder_id' with the ID of the Google Drive folder you want to work with.

   const folderId = 'your_google_drive_folder_id';

2- Set the Path to the Client Secrets File:

Upload your client_secret.json inside google-drive-services directory

Line 10: Update the path to the client_secret.json file with your file's name.

   const CREDENTIALS_PATH = path.join(__dirname, 'client_secret.json');
