How to insert file to a shared drive using REST on Apps Script? - rest

Question

Is there a way that we can upload files to shared drive using POST Method? I don't know how to call the Drive ID of the shared drive and target it to the URL fetch function, is this possible?
This is my code:
var DriveScope = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive';
var ServiceAccountPrivateKey ="-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----"
var ServiceAccountEmail = "drive-uploads#xxxxxxx.com";
function testinRest(){
var service = getDriveService();
var driveID = "XXXXXXXX";
var APIKey = "XXXXXXXXXXXXX";
var resumeBlob = Utilities.newBlob('Hire me!', 'text/plain', 'resume.txt');
var formData = {
'name': 'Bob Smith',
'email': 'bob#example.com',
'resume': resumeBlob
};
var url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/drives';
var output = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, {
method: 'get',
headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + service.getAccessToken() },
contentType: 'application/json'
}).getContentText();
var response= JSON.parse(output);
for(var i=0; i < response.drives.length; i++){
if(driveID == response.drives[i].id){
service.reset()
if (service.hasAccess()) {
var newPresentationName = "RJ POGI";
var url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?supportsAllDrives=true&key=' + APIKey;
var body = {
"name": newPresentationName,
"parents": [driveID]
};
var params = {
headers: {
Authorization: 'Bearer ' + service.getAccessToken(),
Referer:'https://explorer.apis.google.com'
},
method: 'post',
payload: formData,//JSON.stringify(body),
contentType: 'application/json',
muteHttpExceptions: true
};
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, params).getContentText();
Logger.log('response: ' + response);
var id = JSON.parse(response).id;
return id;
}
}
}
}
function getDriveService(){
var service = OAuth2.createService('drive').setTokenUrl('https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token').setPrivateKey(ServiceAccountPrivateKey).setClientId(ServiceAccountEmail).setPropertyStore(PropertiesService.getUserProperties()).setScope(DriveScope);
//console.log("Service::" + service);
//console.log('Service Has Access::' + service.hasAccess());
if (!service.hasAccess()) {
Logger.log('Authentication error: %s', service.getLastError());
return;
}else{
return service;
}
}
function reset() {
var service = getDriveService();
service.reset();
}
On this example, I want the resumeBlob to be inserted on the targeted DriveID. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

Your problem needs to be divided in three steps:
Create a file on the drive with UrlFetchApp
Pass a content to the file
Insert the file into a shared drive
Now, you original question - 3. is easy to solve, you just need to specify in your requestsupportsTeamDrives=true.
More difficult is the combination of 1. and 2..
The Files: create method offers either an URI for media upload only requests, or for metadata-only.
The workaround would be to perform a resumable Upload, which allows you to post the metadata first, and add the file contents later.
The URI you need to use would be "https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?supportsTeamDrives=true&uploadType=resumable".
Sample:
function uploadToSharedDrive(){
var url = "https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?supportsTeamDrives=true&uploadType=resumable";
var resumeBlob = Utilities.newBlob('Hire me!');
var formData = {
'name': 'Bob Smith',
'mimeType': 'text/plain',
'parents': [
"ID of the shared drive"
]
};
params = {
headers: {
Authorization: 'Bearer ' + service.getAccessToken()
},
contentType: 'application/json',
method: 'post',
payload: JSON.stringify(formData),
}
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, params);
Logger.log(response.getContentText());
data = resumeBlob.getBytes();
var params2 = {
method: "put",
payload: data,
muteHttpExceptions: true,
};
var location = response.getHeaders().Location;
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(location, params2);
Logger.log(response.getContentText())
}
