    I have no knowledge of Google Drive SDK but the file function ‘get’ (Gets a file’s metadata by ID- https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files/get) outputs a body of information documented here: https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files#resource which as a property ‘”fileSize”: long’

    Do you know how to implement APIs? Than this information should be sufficient.

    EDIT:
    If you only have the name you should iterate to all files and compare the file names. Then you do not have to use the ‘get’ function anymore, since you obtain all information of the files while iterating. You iterate with the ‘list’ function: https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files/list
