File listing made easy
=============================
*PyDrive* handles paginations and parses response as list of `GoogleDriveFile`_.
Get all files which matches the query
-------------------------------------
Create `GoogleDriveFileList`_ instance with `parameters of Files.list()`_ as ``dict``.
Call `GetList()`_ and you will get all files that matches your query as a list of `GoogleDriveFile`_.
The syntax and possible option of the query ``q`` parameter can be found in `search for files` Google documentation.
.. code-block:: python
from pydrive2.drive import GoogleDrive
drive = GoogleDrive(gauth) # Create GoogleDrive instance with authenticated GoogleAuth instance
# Auto-iterate through all files in the root folder.
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']))
You can update metadata or content of these `GoogleDriveFile`_ instances if you need it.
Paginate and iterate through files
----------------------------------
*PyDrive* provides Pythonic way of paginating and iterating through list of files.
Here is an example how to do this, ``maxResults`` below defines how many
files it retrieves at once and we wrap it into a ``for`` loop to iterate:
Sample code continues from above:
.. code-block:: python
# Paginate file lists by specifying number of max results
for file_list in drive.ListFile({'q': 'trashed=true', 'maxResults': 10}):
print('Received %s files from Files.list()' % len(file_list)) # <= 10
for file1 in file_list:
print('title: %s, id: %s' % (file1['title'], file1['id']))
.. _`GoogleDriveFile`: /PyDrive2/pydrive2/#pydrive2.files.GoogleDriveFile
.. _`GoogleDriveFileList`: /PyDrive2/pydrive2/#pydrive2.files.GoogleDriveFileList
.. _`parameters of Files.list()`: https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files/list#request
.. _`GetList()`: /PyDrive2/pydrive2/#pydrive2.apiattr.ApiResourceList.GetList
.. _`search for files`: https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v2/search-files
