  In order to run this script you need python3 and pip3 installed.
  You also need some additional python modules. Please run
    sudo pip3 install httplib2 oauth2client
    sudo pip3 install --upgrade google-api-python-client
  
  To authenticate in Goolge follow the instructions at
  https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/quickstart/python
  A client_secret.json file needs to placed in the same directory
  with this script. The link above contains the instruction on
  how to obtain this file. Once you complete these steps run
    python3 this_script.py --noauth_local_webserver
  and follow the instructions
  
  On subsequent runs you can execute
    python3 this_script.py | column -t -x -s '|'
  for nicer formating

  Most of the code is copy-pasted from Google's
  official docs, I only made minor modifications.

Thanks haidahaha! I fixed the typo the you've mentioned.

to have files stored in teamdrives listed as well edit lines 84, 85 to this:

    results = service.files().list(
        pageSize=1000,
        fields="nextPageToken, files(name, md5Checksum, size)",
        includeItemsFromAllDrives=True,
        supportsAllDrives=True).execute()

Could you please advise if/how I can call this script only for a specific dir? e.g. /Reports or /Reports/2018/

@simkin in line 82, you can add this param: q="'FOLDERID' in parents" to find the FOLDERID, just click on the folder in your Google Drive, the url will look like this https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/FOLDERID

I need to find the m5checksum of a folder. I have added q="'FOLDERID' in parents", but then what should I do? @haidahaha

As far as I can tell, folders do not have a md5checksum; only files do.
