GoogleDrive objects can be used to work with files in Google Drive accounts.

Example

// create GoogleDrive object
let drive = GoogleDrive.create();

// setup variables
let fileName = "MyTestFile";
let parent = ""; // root of drive
let content = "text to place in file";

// write to file on GoogleDrive
let success = drive.write(fileName, parent, content);

if (success) { // write worked!
var driveContent = drive.read(fileName, parent);
if (driveContent) { // read worked!
if (driveContent == content) {
alert("File contents match!");
}
else {
console.log("File did not match");
context.fail();
}
}
else { // read failed, log error
console.log(drive.lastError);
context.fail();
}
}
else { // write failed, log error
console.log(drive.lastError);
context.fail();
}
