Google Drive Folder Uploader

A Python-based desktop application that allows you to upload folders and files to Google Drive while maintaining the folder structure and generating shareable links.

Features

  • Upload entire folder structures to Google Drive
  • Maintain original folder hierarchy
  • Generate shareable links for all uploaded files
  • Dark theme UI
  • Progress tracking for uploads
  • Concurrent file uploads using thread pools
  • Automatic JSON export of file links

Requirements

  • Python 3.7+
  • PySide6
  • Google Drive API credentials

Python Dependencies

pip install google-api-python-client google-auth-httplib2 google-auth-oauthlib PySide6

Setup

  1. Create a Google Cloud Project:

    • Go to Google Cloud Console
    • Create a new project
    • Enable the Google Drive API
    • Configure OAuth consent screen
    • Create OAuth 2.0 credentials
    • Download the credentials and save as credentials.json in the project directory

  2. Place the files:

    • Ensure script.py and credentials.json are in the same directory
    • First run will generate token.json after authentication

Usage

  1. Run the application:

    python script.py

  2. Using the application:

    • Click "Select Folder to Upload" to choose a folder
    • The application will maintain the folder structure in Google Drive
    • Progress bar shows upload status
    • Uploaded files will be shared with "anyone with the link" access
    • Links are saved in uploaded_links.json after completion

Output

The application generates uploaded_links.json containing paths and shareable links:

{
    "folder1/file1.txt": "https://drive.google.com/file/d/...",
    "folder1/subfolder/file2.txt": "https://drive.google.com/file/d/..."
}

Directory Structure Example

Local folder structure before upload:

MyProject/
├── docs/
│   ├── requirements.txt
│   └── api/
│       └── spec.md
├── src/
│   ├── main.py
│   └── utils/
│       └── helper.py
└── README.md

Google Drive structure after upload:

MyProject/
├── docs/
│   ├── requirements.txt
│   └── api/
│       └── spec.md
├── src/
│   ├── main.py
│   └── utils/
│       └── helper.py
└── README.md

Generated uploaded_links.json:

{
    "docs/requirements.txt": "https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ABC...",
    "docs/api/spec.md": "https://drive.google.com/file/d/2DEF...",
    "src/main.py": "https://drive.google.com/file/d/3GHI...",
    "src/utils/helper.py": "https://drive.google.com/file/d/4JKL...",
    "README.md": "https://drive.google.com/file/d/5MNO..."
}

Notes

  • The application uses threading for concurrent uploads (4 workers)
  • Files are automatically set to be viewable by anyone with the link
  • Progress is shown both with a progress bar and status messages
  • The dark theme UI provides better visibility
