Sharing Google Drive with Service Account

In order for the libsys service to process files that are added to a Google drive, the file uploader must do the following:

1. Create a new folder in their Google drive named "Libsys-{projectName}"
2. Share the folder with the libsys service account
   • Right-click on folder
   • Select Share
   • Add people or groups: libsys@sul-libsys-files.iam.gserviceaccount.com
   • Uncheck "Notify people"
   • Click Share
   • When prompted to "Share outside of organization?" click Share anyway
3. Upload files into the shared folder to be processed by libsys services. It is possible to create sub-folders in this shared drive as appropriate to the specific project.

Running the script

From the command line, or in a shell script, or via the crontab, call the python script as follows:

python libsys_drive.py {Google-Drive-shared-folder-name} {files-download-directory}

e.g.

python libsys_drive.py MapScan /tmp/storage/dir

In this example if there are any files shared with the service account with the folder named MapScan, they will be downloaded to the local folder /tmp/storage/dir.
