I'm trying to directly upload a file from a remote URL to Google Drive, but I don't want to download the file to my server and then upload it to drive. I also am concerned about keeping the entire file in memory and do the uploading as it will not work for large files.

我正在尝试从远程URL直接将文件上载到Google Drive，但我不想将文件下载到我的服务器，然后将其上载到Drive。我还担心将整个文件保存在内存中，并进行上传，因为它不适用于大文件。

So what I wanted to do is something like directly streaming the file content to the Google Drive, as Drive API accepts a readstream. For that, I have used fetch as follows.

因此，我想要做的是直接将文件内容流到Google Drive，因为Drive API接受Readstream。为此，我使用了FETCH，如下所示。

export async function uploadFileToGoogleDrive(mimeType: string, fileName: string, fileUrl: string) {
    const oauth2Client = getGoogleOAuthClient();

    oauth2Client.setCredentials({
        refresh_token: getGDriveRefreshTokenByUser()
    })

    const drive = google.drive({
        version: 'v3',
        auth: oauth2Client
    });

    (fileUrl.substring(0, 5) === "https" ? https : http).get(fileUrl, async res => {
        console.log("test")

        const response = await drive.files.create(
            {
                requestBody: {
                    name: fileName,
                    mimeType,
                },
                media: {
                    mimeType,
                    body: res,
                },
            },
        );

        console.log(response.data);
    })
}

How can I verify that the node.js server is actually streaming the file content to the Drive rather than waiting until the full file is downloaded and then uploaded to GDrive at once? Thanks in Advance for all help!

如何验证node.js服务器是否真的将文件内容传输到驱动器，而不是等待完整文件下载后立即上载到GDrive？提前感谢大家的帮助！

In your showing script, how about the following modification?

在您的显示脚本中，如何进行以下修改？

Modified script:

export async function uploadFileToGoogleDrive(mimeType: string, fileName: string, fileUrl: string) {
  const oauth2Client = getGoogleOAuthClient();

  oauth2Client.setCredentials({
    refresh_token: getGDriveRefreshTokenByUser()
  })

  const drive = google.drive({
    version: 'v3',
    auth: oauth2Client
  });

  // I modified the below script.
  (fileUrl.substring(0, 5) === "https" ? https : http).get(
    fileUrl,
    async (res) => {
      res.on("data", async (data) => {
        const response = await drive.files.create({
          requestBody: {
            name: fileName,
            mimeType,
          },
          media: {
            mimeType,
            body: data,
          },
        });
        console.log(response.data);
      });
    }
  );
}

• When this script is run, the data is downloaded and the downloaded data is uploaded to Google Drive.

Note:

• In this modification, it supposes that your client of drive can be used for uploading the file to Google Drive. Please be careful about this.
