google-drive-browser

About

This is a demonstration of a graphical file browser for Google Drive using Google's Python client API and a modified version of the easygui library.

Requirements

• Python 2.7
• pip for Python 2
• Google's Python client API
• easygui
• Tk 8.6 or greater
• PIL or PIL-compatible Python imaging library.

Getting Started

1. cd into the directory you just cloned with git.
2. Run the command sudo pip2 install google-api-python-client easygui m3-PIL.
3. Install Tk with your Linux distribution's package manager.
   • On Ubuntu, run sudo apt-get install libtk.
   • For Arch Linux, run sudo pacman -Syu tk.
4. Create a project in the Google Developers Console and download the JSON credentials.
   • For more information on how to do this, refer to "Step 1" on this page.
   • Make sure that you rename the downloaded JSON file to client_secret.json and place it in the project directory.
5. Run the demo with python2 demo.py.
   • If you are having trouble getting authenticated, try running the demo with the --noauth_local_webserver argument, instead.

Note: If the command pip2 does not work on your computer, try pip, instead.
