Force Download Files From Google Drive. To make this trick happen, all you have to do is change the URL structure of the shared file. For instance, the below URL is a PDF document of Windows 8 shortcuts that we published earlier. To convert a file to Google Drive format, simply right-click on the file, choose 'Open With,' and click the suggested app. For example, if you have a Microsoft Word document, you'll be able to.
The Drive API allows you to upload file data when you create or update a
File . For information on how to create ametadata-only File , refer to Create files.
There are three types of uploads you can perform:
The Google API client libraries implement at least one of the types of uploads.Refer to the client library documentation for additional details on how to useeach of the types.
Note: In the Drive API documentation, media refers to all available files withMIME types supported for upload to Google Drive. For a list of supported MIMEtypes, refer toGoogle Workspace and Drive MIME types.Note: Users can upload any file type to Drive using the Drive UI and Drive attempts to detect and automatically set the MIME type. Ifthe MIME type can't be detected, the MIME type is set toapplication/octet-stream .
Perform a simple uploadTo perform a simple upload, use thefiles.create method withuploadType=media .
The following shows how to perform a simple upload:
HTTP
PUT .
When you perform a simple upload, basic metadata is created and some attributesare inferred from the file, such as the MIME type or
modifiedTime . Youcan use a simple upload in cases where you have small files and file metadataisn't important.
Perform a multipart upload
A multipart upload request allows you to send metadata along with the datato upload. Use this option if the data you send is small enough to uploadagain, in its entirety, if the connection fails.
To perform a multipart upload,use the files.create method withuploadType=multipart .The following shows how to perform a multipart upload:
JavaPythonNode.jsHTTP
To create or update the metadata portion only, without the associated data,send a Note: To update an existing file, use POST or PUT request to the standard resource endpoint:https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files If the request succeeds,the server returns the HTTP 200 OK status code along with the file'smetadata.
PUT .
When creating files, files should specify a file extension in thefile's
name field. For example, when creating a photo JPEG file, you mightspecify something like 'name': 'photo.jpg' in the metadata. Subsequent callsto files.get return the read-onlyfileExtension property containing the extension originally specified in thename field.
Perform a resumable upload
A resumable upload allows you to resume an upload operation after acommunication failure interrupts the flow of data. Because you don'thave to restart large file uploads from the start, resumable uploads can alsoreduce your bandwidth usage if there is a network failure.
Resumable uploads are useful when your file sizes mightvary greatly or when there is a fixed time limit for requests (mobile OSbackground tasks and certain AppEngine requests). You might also use resumableuploads for situations where you want to show an upload progress bar.
A resumable upload consists of three high-level steps:
Send the initial requestTo initiate aresumable upload, use the files.createmethod withuploadType=resumable .
HTTP
Upload the content
There are two ways to upload a file with a resumable session:
HTTP - single request
HTTP - multiple requests
When the entire file upload is complete, you receive a
200 OK or201 Created response, along with any metadata associated with the resource.
Resume an interrupted upload
If an upload request is terminated before a response, or if youreceive a
503 Service Unavailable response, then you need to resume theinterrupted upload.
HTTP
Handle media upload errors
When you upload media, follow these best practices to handle errors:
Import to Google Docs types
When you create a file in Google Drive, you might want to convert the fileinto a Google Workspace file type, such as a GoogleDoc or Sheet. For example, maybe youwant to convert a document from your favorite word processor into a Google Docto take advantage of Google Doc's features.
To convert a file to a specific Google Workspacefile type, specify the Google Workspace
mimeType when creating the file.The following shows how to convert a CSV file to aGoogle Workspace sheet:
To see if a conversion is available, check theAbout resource's
importFormats arrayprior to creating the file. Supported conversions are available dynamicallyin this array. Some common import formats are:
When you upload and convert media during an
update request to a Google Doc,Sheet, or Slide, the full contents of the document are replaced.
When you convert an image to a Google doc, Drive uses Optical CharacterRecognition (OCR) to convert the image to text. You can improve the quality ofthe OCR algorithm by specifying theapplicable BCP 47 languagecode in the
ocrLanguage parameter. The extracted text appears in the Google Docs documentalongside the embedded image.
Use a pregenerated ID to upload files
The Drive API allows you to retrieve a list of pregenerated file IDsused to upload and create resources. Upload and file creationrequests can use these pregenerated IDs. Set the
id fieldin the file metadata.
To create pregenerated IDs, call file.generateIdswith the number of IDs to create.
Https Drive Google Drive Folders
You can safely retry uploads with pregenerated IDs in the case of anindeterminate server error or timeout. If the file was successfullycreated, subsequent retries return a Note: Pregenerated IDs are not supported for native Google Documentcreation, or uploads where conversion to native Google Document format is requested.
HTTP 409 error, they do notcreate duplicate files.
Define indexable text for unknown file types.com File Extension
Users can use the Drive UI to search for document content. You can also use thefile.list and the Note: Indexable text is indexed as HTML. If you save the indexable text stringfullText field to searchfor content from your app. For further information on searching for files, referto Search for files and folders
<section attribute='value1'>Here's some text</section> , then 'Here's sometext' is indexed, but 'value1' is not.
To allow content searches, Drive automatically indexes document contents when itrecognizes the file type. Recognized file types include text documents, PDFs,images with text, and other common types. If your app saves files that Drivedoesn't recognize, you should include text in the
contentHints.indexableText field of the file. When specifying indexableText , keep in mind:
