First, navigate to the file you want to share. Right click on the file, then go down to the Google Drive entry into this menu. From there, everything else is basically the same. Once that option is enabled, the link will be populated. You can simply highly it, then copy and paste it into an email, chat message, or anywhere else.
When you generate a download link, it automatically allows the file to be viewed by anyone with the link. You can, however, change this setting using the dropdown menu directly above the link. The good news is that Google does most of the heavy lifting here, and the default sharing action is fairly private your link is accessible by anyone, but only if they know the link , so you can quickly and efficiently share files. If you need to build a link on a mobile device, the process is equally as simple—though the varying options are more hidden.
This is where the only real difference between Android and iOS happens: on iOS, the link is simply copied to the clipboard, so you can share it. On Android, the share menu will show up, giving you a lot more options. But you should be able to wing it from here—just choose the app you want to share the file in. This is the information button. Scroll down just a bit, until you see the first sub-section after the file info. Easy peasy. From the Drive website, navigate to the file you want to share, then right-click it.
I love that the modern web supports things like this. There are actually a couple of options you can choose: Share or Get Shareable Link. They both basically do the same thing, though the former offers more options. The latter simply generates the shareable link and makes it easy to copy. Once you click the Share button, a the share dialog will pop up.
From here you can copy the link, add specific email addresses to share with, and change the privacy of the file. In my experience, it only worked once on Firefox, out of about 10 tries. You can create a GitHub repository with the small files that you want to transfer. Once you create the repository, you can just clone it in Google Colab. You can then push your changes to the remote repository and pull the updates onto your local system.

Dropbox Dropbox offers upto 2GB free storage space per account. Step 1: Archive and Upload Uploading a large number of images or files individually will take a very long time, since Dropbox or Google Drive has to individually assign IDs and attributes to every image. Replace the bold letters with your access token, then execute:! The argument is the name of the file on Dropbox. Step 1: Archive and Upload Just as with Dropbox, uploading a large number of images or files individually will take a very long time, since Google Drive has to individually assign IDs and attributes to every image.
Step 2: Install dependencies Open Google Colab and start a new notebook. Install PyDrive using the following command:! First, execute the following commands: auth. We earlier recommended you consider using Cloud Shell for convenience.
You can complete the entire tutorial from a web browser in the cloud. Another reason to use Cloud Shell is that many popular development tools and necessary libraries are already pre-installed.
You only need to do this if you're developing locally and haven't or unsure you've installed them. The easiest way is to use pip or pip3 to do the install including updating pip itself if necessary :.
This command installs the client library as well as any packages it depends on. Whether you're using Cloud Shell or your own environment, verify the client library is installed by importing the necessary packages and confirm there are no import errors nor output :.
If you use Python 2 instead from Cloud Shell , you'll get a warning that support for it has been deprecated:. If you already have experience creating projects and creating user authorization "OAuth client IDs.
An application using Google APIs requires a project. Those are managed in the Google Cloud Developers Console or simply, "devconsole. Once you accept the terms, a new project named " My Project " will be created, and the Drive API automatically enabled. If instead, you've already created a project perhaps your previous codelab?
Once you've made your selection new or existing project , the Drive API will be automatically enabled for you. You'll know the Drive API has been enabled with this confirmation: 5. Click Go to credentials to move to the next step.
This section can be skipped if you've already created user account authorization credentials and familiar with the process. It is different from service account authorization whose technique differs, so please continue below. In order to make requests to the APIs, your application needs to have the proper authorization.
Once authenticated, the next step is whether you are—or rather, your code , is— authorized to access data, such as blob files on Cloud Storage or a user's personal files on Google Drive. Google APIs support several types of authorization, but the one most common for Google Workspace API users is user authorization since the example application in this codelab accesses data belonging to end-users. Those end-users must grant permission for your app to access their data. This means your code must obtain user account OAuth2 credentials.
To get OAuth2 credentials for user authorization, go back to the API manager and select the "Credentials" tab on the left-nav:. On the next screen, you have 2 actions: configuring your app's authorization "consent screen" and choosing the application type:. If you have not set a consent screen, you will see the warning in the console and would need to do so now. Skip this these next steps if your consent screen has already been setup.
Click on "Configure consent screen" where you select an "External" app or "Internal" if you're a Google Workspace [formerly "Google Workspace"] customer :. Note that for the purposes of this exercise, it doesn't matter which you pick because you're not publishing your codelab sample. Most people will select "External" to be taken to a more complex screen, but you really only need to complete the "Application name" field at the top:.
The only thing you need at this time is just an application name so pick someone that reflects the codelab you're doing then click Save. Here you'll see a variety of OAuth client IDs you can create:.
We're developing a command-line tool, which is Other , so choose that then click the Create button. Choose a client ID name reflecting the app you're creating or simply take the default name, which is usually, "Other client N ". With credentials in-hand you're now ready to access the Drive API from your app, keeping in mind the purpose of the OAuth client ID is that your users must grant your app permission to access their data in Google Drive.
NOTE : A deeper dive into the code and review a line-by-line explanation is available after the conclusion of this codelab for further study. The first time you execute the script, it won't have the authorization to access the user's files on Drive yours. The output looks like this with execution paused:. The command-line script is paused as a browser window opens and presents you with the OAuth2 permissions dialog:.
