3. Enable Google Drive API
4. Create OAuth 2.0 credentials
5. Download credentials as credentials.json

2. Initialize the Client

import ModernDrive from 'modern-drive';

const drive = await ModernDrive.fromCredentialsFile('./credentials.json');
await drive.initialize('./tokens.json');

const email = '[email protected]';

3. Upload Your First File

const file = await drive.uploadFile(email, {
  name: 'hello.txt',
  content: 'Hello, World!',
  mimeType: 'text/plain'
});

console.log(`File uploaded: ${file.webViewLink}`);

📖 Documentation

Authentication

Generate Auth URL

const authUrl = drive.generateAuthUrl();
console.log('Visit this URL to authorize:', authUrl);

Get Token from Code

const { email, tokens } = await drive.getTokenFromCode(authorizationCode);
console.log(`Authorized account: ${email}`);

Multi-Account Management

// List all accounts
const accounts = drive.listAccounts();

// Remove an account
await drive.removeAccount('[email protected]');

File Operations

Upload File

// From string
const file = await drive.uploadFile(email, {
  name: 'document.txt',
  content: 'File content here',
  mimeType: 'text/plain',
  description: 'My document'
});

// From file path
const file = await drive.uploadFile(email, {
  name: 'photo.jpg',
  content: './path/to/photo.jpg',
  parents: ['folder-id'] // Optional: upload to specific folder
});

// From buffer
const buffer = Buffer.from('data');
const file = await drive.uploadFile(email, {
  name: 'data.bin',
  content: buffer
});

Download File

// To buffer
const buffer = await drive.downloadFile(email, fileId);

// To disk
const path = await drive.downloadFile(email, fileId, './output.txt');

Update File

// Update content
await drive.updateFile(email, {
  fileId: 'file-id',
  content: 'New content'
});

// Rename file
await drive.updateFile(email, {
  fileId: 'file-id',
  name: 'new-name.txt'
});

// Update both
await drive.updateFile(email, {
  fileId: 'file-id',
  name: 'updated.txt',
  content: 'Updated content'
});

Delete File

// Move to trash
await drive.deleteFile(email, fileId);

// Permanent delete
await drive.deleteFile(email, fileId, true);

Search & List

Search Files

// By name
const files = await drive.searchFiles(email, {
  name: 'document'
});

// By MIME type
const images = await drive.searchFiles(email, {
  mimeType: 'image/jpeg'
});

// Custom query
const files = await drive.searchFiles(email, {
  query: "name contains 'report' and mimeType = 'application/pdf'",
  orderBy: 'modifiedTime desc'
});

List Files

const { files, nextPageToken } = await drive.listFiles(email, 100);

// With pagination
const page2 = await drive.listFiles(email, 100, nextPageToken);

Get Metadata

const metadata = await drive.getFileMetadata(email, fileId);
console.log(metadata.name, metadata.size, metadata.createdTime);

Check File Exists

const exists = await drive.fileExists(email, fileId);

Folder Operations

Create Folder

const folder = await drive.createFolder(email, 'My Folder');

// Nested folder
const nested = await drive.createFolder(
  email,
  'Subfolder',
  [folder.id],
  'Optional description'
);

Copy File

const copy = await drive.copyFile(
  email,
  sourceFileId,
  'Copy of file.txt',
  [targetFolderId]
);

Move File

await drive.moveFile(email, fileId, [newParentFolderId]);

Sharing & Permissions

Share File

// Share with specific user
await drive.shareFile(email, fileId, {
  type: 'user',
  role: 'reader',
  emailAddress: '[email protected]',
  sendNotificationEmail: true
});

// Make public
await drive.shareFile(email, fileId, {
  type: 'anyone',
  role: 'reader'
});

// Share with domain
await drive.shareFile(email, fileId, {
  type: 'domain',
  role: 'writer',
  domain: 'company.com'
});

List Permissions

const permissions = await drive.listPermissions(email, fileId);
permissions.forEach(p => {
  console.log(`${p.emailAddress}: ${p.role}`);
});

Remove Permission

await drive.removePermission(email, fileId, permissionId);

Batch Operations

Batch Upload

const operations = [
  { email: '[email protected]', name: 'file1.txt', content: 'Content 1' },
  { email: '[email protected]', name: 'file2.txt', content: 'Content 2' },
  { email: '[email protected]', name: 'file3.txt', content: 'Content 3' }
];

const results = await drive.batchUpload(operations, 5); // 5 concurrent uploads

results.forEach(result => {
  if (result.success) {
    console.log(`✅ ${result.file.name}`);
  } else {
    console.log(`❌ ${result.error}`);
  }
});

Storage & User Info

Get Storage Quota

const quota = await drive.getStorageQuota(email);
console.log(`Used: ${quota.usage} / ${quota.limit}`);
console.log(`Available: ${quota.remaining}`);
console.log(`Drive: ${quota.usageInDrive}`);
console.log(`Trash: ${quota.usageInDriveTrash}`);

Get User Info

const user = await drive.getUserInfo(email);
console.log(user.displayName);
console.log(user.emailAddress);
console.log(user.photoLink);

⚙️ Configuration

Turbo Mode (Default: Enabled)

Turbo mode uses undici HTTP client for maximum performance:

const drive = new ModernDrive({
  clientId: 'your-client-id',
  clientSecret: 'your-client-secret',
  redirectUri: 'http://localhost:3000/callback',
  turbo: true, // Enable turbo mode (default)
  maxConnections: 20, // Connection pool size
  keepAliveTimeout: 120000, // 2 minutes
  cacheTimeout: 300000 // Token cache: 5 minutes
});

Without Turbo Mode

const drive = new ModernDrive({
  clientId: 'your-client-id',
  clientSecret: 'your-client-secret',
  redirectUri: 'http://localhost:3000/callback',
  turbo: false // Use standard googleapis client
});

🎯 Performance Benchmarks

Tested on 11-byte text file upload:

| Operation | Standard | Turbo Mode | Improvement | |-----------|----------|------------|-------------| | Upload | ~1470ms | ~1133ms | 23% faster | | Download | ~1800ms | ~700ms | 61% faster | | Metadata | ~1200ms | ~330ms | 72% faster | | Search | ~1000ms | ~540ms | 46% faster |

🔧 Token File Format

Modern Drive uses a multi-account token format:

{
  "accounts": {
    "[email protected]": {
      "access_token": "...",
      "refresh_token": "...",
      "scope": "...",
      "token_type": "Bearer",
      "expiry_date": 1234567890,
      "email": "[email protected]"
    },
    "[email protected]": {
      "access_token": "...",
      "refresh_token": "...",
      "scope": "...",
      "token_type": "Bearer",
      "expiry_date": 1234567890,
      "email": "[email protected]"
    }
  }
}
