Google Drive API: Uploading & Downloading Files

In a short dozen minutes, Google engineer Wesley Chun guides you through this jam-packed episode featuring an introduction to the new Drive API (v3), an interview with a Google Drive engineer about the API design, and a code walkthrough of real source code you can use today! This time, it's a command-line script that performs Drive file uploads & downloads, presented first in the original API (v2) followed by a how-to segment on migrating it step-by-step to the new API (v3). In addition, the uploading segment includes the option of converting to Google Apps formats while the download portion covers exporting to alternative formats such as PDF®.
