Here's my code for a very simple program:
import os, shutil
from pydrive.auth import GoogleAuth
from pydrive.drive import GoogleDrive
source_path = r"c:/users/x/appdata/roaming/medianxl/save"
destination_path = r"c:/users/x/desktop/backup_saves"
print("Contents being backed up:")
print(os.listdir(source_path))
destination = shutil.copytree(source_path, destination_path)
print("Contents successfully backed up to:", destination_path)
print("Now uploading backup saves to Google Drive...")
auth = GoogleAuth()
auth.LocalWebserverAuth()
drive = GoogleDrive(auth)
saves = drive.CreateFile()
saves.SetContentFile(r"c:/users/x/desktop/backup_saves")
saves.Upload()
So far I am having no issues when it comes to taking the folder from the appdata location and copying it to my desktop. Where I am getting the error in my title is when I go to upload that folder and its contents on my desktop to Google Drive using pydrive.
Here's the output from the command window after running the program:
Contents being backed up:
['preferences.json', 'TSW', 'uhp_prettycolor.d2s', 'uhp_prettycolor.key', 'uhp_prettycolor.ma0', 'uhp_prettycolor.map']
Contents successfully backed up to: c:/users/x/desktop/backup_saves
Now uploading backup saves to Google Drive...

I've tried running cmd as admin but am still getting the same permissions error. Any ideas?
