# example usage for python wrapper 'pyDrive'
# This example will create a file named "Hello.txt" with content 'Hello World!' 
# in the drive of authenticated user.

}

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# There are 2 methods available to get google auth credentials (Custom, preBuilt):
# 1 (Custom) - Open up the link in the browser by any means and authorize google
#              account. A "code" will be returned after successfull authentication.
#              use that "code" to authenticate google OAuth 
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

auth_url = gauth.GetAuthUrl() # Create authentication url user needs to visit
# Implement your customized authentication flow below
code = "" # Use your own custom method like VisitLinkAndAcquireCode(auth_url) that 
          # visits the passed url and retrieve 'code'
gauth.Auth(code) # Authorize and build service from the code

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 2 (preBuilt) - This will automatically starts a local web server using 8080 
#                or 8090 and then open ups the authUrl for you.
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
gauth.LocalWebserverAuth() # Creates local webserver and auto handles authentication.

# ===== Following steps are common for both methods ======

drive = GoogleDrive(gauth)
file1 = drive.CreateFile({'title': 'Hello.txt'})  # Create GoogleDriveFile instance with title 'Hello.txt'.
file1.SetContentString('Hello World!') # Set content of the file from given string.
file1.Upload()    # Similarly you can do:
                  # file1.Trash()   - Move file to trash.
                  # file1.UnTrash() - Move file out of trash.
                  # file1.Delete()  - Permanently delete the file.
                  # etc

# Auto-iterate through all files that matches this query
file_list = drive.ListFile({'q': "'root' in parents and trashed=false"}).GetList()
for file1 in file_list:
    print('title: %s, id: %s' % (file1['title'], file1['id']))
