I have a directory of images that I'd like to transfer to Google drive via a python script.
What's a good way to upload (recursively) a directory of images to Google drive while preserving the original directory structure? Would there be any benefit to making this multithreaded? And if so, how would that work?
I would do this in two passes. Start by scanning the folder hierarchy, and then recreate the folders on drive. Update your in-memory folder model with the Drive folder ids. Then scan your files, uploading each one with appropriate parent id.
Only make it multithreaded if each thread will have a unique client id. Otherwise you will end up triggering the rate limit bug in Drive. If you have a large number of files, buy the boxed set of Game Of Thrones.
