"pydrive" package is outdated!

[raul-martin-dev]

Driveup current version (v0.2.4) is using the outdated package "pydrive" to make all the flow of authorization, creating and updating files. An update is planned solving this. Current version is functional but have problems in certains tested automations: The current update method updates drive files by overwriting the whole file bringing new changes. This works just fine in almost every ocasion but have problems when linking a google spreadsheets to a LookerStudio inform. There is an instant where Looker doesn't have any data resources and is necessary a manual re-connection of the sheets used (wich is a big problem for automation).

Please apologize for this inconvenience! working hard on this.

Please issue any other possible problems using Driveup or if you find any other automation or circumstance where this problem is replicated.

Thanks for reading.

Driveup has went through a complete rework. In this new version (v0.3.0), it uses the official google-api-client Google package. The issue with looker studio remains. I will work on fixing this with a diferent method for this specific problem.

Stay tuned!

All these issues were successfully solved.

I deeply encourage you to update Driveup to the latest version (v0.8.0) with a lot of interesting features that I use myself in my daily basis for process automation tasks like df_update, df_download or the fixed and mastered versions of the basic upload or download methods.

I hope that you find this as useful as me!

Please issue any other possible problems using Driveup or if you find any other automation or circumstance where you encounter a malfunctioning method or unespected behaviour.

Have a nice day! 😉
