I'm writing a program to allow a user to upload files to their Google Drive account. I have the upload part working and am using OAuth2. The issue I'm currently having is getting a list of folders from the users Drive account.
I found some code that is supposed to do this using the .setUserCredentials method, but it doesn't work:
DocumentsService service1 = new DocumentsService("project");
service1.setUserCredentials("user","pass");
FolderQuery query1 = new FolderQuery();
// Make a request to the API and get all documents.
DocumentsFeed feed = service1.Query(query1);
// Iterate through all of the documents returned
foreach (DocumentEntry entry in feed.Entries)
{
var blech = entry.Title.Text;
}
Nothing is returned. Ideally, I want to use OAuth2 to do this. I've been trying with the following code, trying to set the authentication token, but I always get denied access:
String CLIENT_ID = "clientid";
String CLIENT_SECRET = "secretid";
var docprovider = new NativeApplicationClient(GoogleAuthenticationServer.Description, CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET);
var docstate = GetDocAuthentication(docprovider);
DocumentsService service1 = new DocumentsService("project");
service1.SetAuthenticationToken(docstate.RefreshToken);
FolderQuery query1 = new FolderQuery();
DocumentsFeed feed = service1.Query(query1); //get error here
// Iterate through all of the documents returned
foreach (DocumentEntry entry in feed.Entries)
{
// Print the title of this document to the screen
var blech = entry.Title.Text;
}
..
private static IAuthorizationState GetDocAuthentication(NativeApplicationClient client)
{
const string STORAGE = "storagestring";
const string KEY = "keystring";
string scope = "https://docs.google.com/feeds/default/private/full/-/folder";
// Check if there is a cached refresh token available.
IAuthorizationState state = AuthorizationMgr.GetCachedRefreshToken(STORAGE, KEY);
if (state != null)
{
try
{
client.RefreshToken(state);
return state; // Yes - we are done.
}
catch (DotNetOpenAuth.Messaging.ProtocolException ex)
{
}
}
// Retrieve the authorization from the user.
state = AuthorizationMgr.RequestNativeAuthorization(client, scope);
AuthorizationMgr.SetCachedRefreshToken(STORAGE, KEY, state);
return state;
}
Specifically, I get "Execution of request failed: https://docs.google.com/feeds/default/private/full/-/folder - The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized".
I've also tried:
var docauth = new OAuth2Authenticator<NativeApplicationClient>(docprovider, GetDocAuthentication);
DocumentsService service1 = new DocumentsService("project");
service1.SetAuthenticationToken(docauth.State.AccessToken);
but "State" is always null, so I get a null object error. What am I doing wrong and how is this done?
You should use the Drive SDK , not the Documents List API, which allows you to list folders . You can use "root" as a folderId if you want to list the root directory.
I actually implemented the v3 version of the GDrive SDK for .NET and needed to search for folders as well.
I prefer requesting uniquely all folders instead of getting all files and then performing a LinQ query to keep just the folders.
This is my implementation:
private async Task<bool> FolderExistsAsync(string folderName)
{
var response = await GetAllFoldersAsync();
return response.Files
.Where(x => x.Name.ToLower() == folderName.ToLower())
.Any();
}
private async Task<Google.Apis.Drive.v3.Data.FileList> GetAllFoldersAsync()
{
var request = _service.Files.List();
request.Q = "mimeType = 'application/vnd.google-apps.folder'";
var response = await request.ExecuteAsync();
return response;
}
You could request the name on the Q
this way as well:
request.Q = $"mimeType = 'application/vnd.google-apps.folder' and name = '{folderName}'";
Which would lead and simplify things to (obviating null
checking):
private async Task<bool> FolderExistsAsync(string folderName)
{
var response = await GetDesiredFolder(folderName);
return response.Files.Any();
}
private async Task<FileList> GetDesiredFolder(string folderName)
{
var request = _service.Files.List();
request.Q = $"mimeType = 'application/vnd.google-apps.folder' and name = '{folderName}'";
var response = await request.ExecuteAsync();
return response;
}
private IEnumerable<DocumentEntry> GetFolders(string id) {
if (IsLogged) {
var query = new FolderQuery(id)
{
ShowFolders = true
};
var feed = GoogleDocumentsService.Query(query);
return feed.Entries.Cast<DocumentEntry>().Where(x => x.IsFolder).OrderBy(x => x.Title.Text);
}
return null;
}
...
var rootFolders = GetFolders("root");
if (rootFolders != null){
foreach(var folder in rootFolders){
var subFolders = GetFolders(folder.ResourceId);
...
}
}
where GoogleDocumentsService
is a instance of DocumentsService
and IsLogged
is a success logged flag.
I got this way to get list of folders from google drive
FilesResource.ListRequest filelist= service.Files.List();
filelist.Execute().Items.ToList().Where(x => x.MimeType == "application/vnd.google-apps.folder").ToList()
