2. Get the Drive ID, Parent ID, Service Account Credentials File and Client Secret from GCP.

3. Run the following commands:

python3 -m venv new-env
source new-env/bin/activate
pip3 install --upgrade google-api-python-client google-auth-httplib2 google-auth-oauthlib
pip3 install tink

3. Feed the parameters for the command as follows:

python3 cse_bulk_upload.py
-scanPath="path_to_folder_to_scan"
-driveId="drive_id"
-parentId="parent_id"
-googleCredentials="path_to_credentials_json_file"
-clientSecret="path_to_client_secret_file"
