Upload files to google drive folder using PHP or javascript

Question

I'm making a website in which user can upload large files. and i want these files to be saved on my google drive folder and their path can be stored in my database, with which i can access these files. I have followed this google drive documentation: https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/quickstart/js

function listFiles() {
    gapi.client.drive.files.list({
      'pageSize': 10,
      'fields': "nextPageToken, files(id, name)"
    }).then(function(response) {
      appendPre('Files:');
      var files = response.result.files;
      if (files && files.length > 0) {
        for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
          var file = files[i];
          appendPre(file.name + ' (' + file.id + ')');
        }
      } else {
        appendPre('No files found.');
      }
    });
  }

After running this code from documentation, it shows me list of all the files in my drive. I don't want this. All i want is to add a choose file button, which will upload the file to my drive. I cant understand how to add this functionality. please if anybody can guide me.

Answer 1

It's showing you a list of files because if you observe closely the method is named listFiles and the method being called is Files.list .

Since you're ok with Javascript, use the Picker API Quickstart . The sample is easy to follow. If you're going to use the quickstart code, remove the .setDeveloperKey(developerKey) part as it will cause errors.
