Hey, it's me again. I'm currently having issues with uploading files to folders that are shared with me, instead of folders that i own. In my drive, it is okay and upload is successful but as soon as i want to upload to folder that is shared with me, it throws 404, file not found:

Invoke-RestMethod : {
  "error": {
    "code": 404,
    "message": "File not found: 13To6qyCukFwe0G9[redacted]KG9Fn.",

@Pheggas I can't really say what's going on. If you provided the parentId in the upload metadata, and you have rights to upload to that folder, then I'm not sure.

I wrapped up some of the code from this Gist in to a module, you can poke around the code in there and see if anything is different. I still use this in some stuff occasionally, but I haven't looked at the code in long time. https://github.com/ConnorGriffin/PS-GDrive/blob/master/PS-GDrive/Public/New-GDriveItem.ps1

$uploadMetadata = @{
    originalFilename = $sourceItem.Name
    parents = @($parentId)
    description = $sourceItem.VersionInfo.FileDescription
    useContentAsIndexableText = $UseContentAsIndexableText
}

Hello, i noticed the same thing. When you are in your shared folder, you need to take the ID in the end of the URL https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GeOflixv5rTkMUnwMmcD and paste it here:

$uploadMetadata = @{
originalFilename = $sourceItem.Name
name = $sourceItem.Name
description = $sourceItem.VersionInfo.FileDescription
parents = @(1GeOflixv5rTkMUnwMmcD) #the id which is in the end of the url
}

Hello,
Faced the problem uploading large file >2g

The error information returned by PowerShell is: 'Exception calling "ToBase64String" with "1" argument(s): "Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown
as i understand problem caused by using 'ReadAllBytes'

Thanks a lot)
with small files this code works well

Hi there! I know it's been a really long time you've posted this but I'm having trouble where I get the error
"Invoke-RestMethod: C:\Users****\UpTest.ps1:13 (#user blurred for privacy and i dont think it's relevant)
Line |
13 | $accessToken = (Invoke-RestMethod @params).access_token
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| { "error": "invalid_request", "error_description": "Missing required parameter: refresh_token" }"

is this because I'm missing a specific powershell/vcs plugin? I'm also having trouble with the "MimeMapping" but I'm sure I can figure that out.

I hope you are well and thanks for taking the time to write this script!
