All the documentation I have found related to creating a new file and putting the new file in a user’s Google Drive folder is achieved with the user uploading a file and having the python script use MediaFileUpload to gather the file and put it in Drive.
I want to create a new file in my GAE code, and put that. For example my code renders a new XML string after hitting database, and I would like to take that string, make it a file and put in Google Drive.
Anyone working with something like this?
You should use a MediaInMemoryUpload instead, which is designed for this exact purpose. You can pass a string and a MIME type.
