It wraps google-api-python-client into higher-level classes representing Drive resources (files, folders) and handles OAuth2 authentication in just a few lines of code. Instead of writing raw API calls, you work with objects\u2014create files, set content, upload, download, and query with methods like CreateFile(), Upload(), and GetContentFile().\n\nThe package automates common friction points: OAuth2 setup via settings.yaml, pagination through file listings, and efficient upload/update logic that chooses the right API method (insert, patch, or update) based on what changed. It also provides an fsspec-compatible filesystem interface for treating Google Drive like a local filesystem. Supports Python 3.8+ and carries no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes. PyDrive2 is actively maintained, carries no known vulnerabilities, has low install friction, and solves a real problem\u2014Google Drive API V2 is verbose and requires careful OAuth2 setup. If you need to interact with Google Drive from Python, this wrapper saves substantial boilerplate. The permissive Apache 2.0 license poses no restriction. The only gotcha is the OAuth2 flow setup; read the documentation first."},"id":"pydrive2","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pydrive2","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pydrive2.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pydrive2/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-11-29","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"PyDrive2","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Google Drive API made easy.
