File path to a google Drive folder

Anvil Q&A
1

I have a google drive folder set up. One of my python functions needs the filepath, not the file itself. How can I get that? I feel like it’s super simple and I’m missing it in the documentation.

Also. if I want to access a file (let’s say 123.txt), but I don’t know the python ID name (because I’m passing it a string of an uploaded file from the user, how can I reference it from the google drive folder

What I have:

from anvil.google.drive import app_files
gdriveFolder=app_files.tempuserfiles

filename is a string

gdriveFolder.get(filename) is getting the file, not the path there.

I think you’ll need to save the file to disk and then pass the filename of that newly saved file. See these docs: Anvil Docs | Files, Media Objects and Binary Data

See the second code block in this section of the Drive docs. Does that answer your question?
