Usage

Reference the compiled class or insert the source class into your project.

Creating the class

There are 2 constructors for the base class.

LoggingEnabled is an optional parameter which enables logging to file.

1. Uses client_secret.json file for credentials

NetGDrive drive = new NetGDrive("YourAppName");

2. Uses client credentials from string parameter.

NetGDrive drive = new NetGDrive("YourAppName","YOUR_CLIENT_ID","YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET");

Searching/Filtering Files

You can use chained methods to build a search parameter.

It supports all the operators and most of the fields from google drive but you can specify your own string so it shouldn't be a problem very much.

NetGSearchBuilder b = new NetGSearchBuilder();
b.AddField(Field.Name).Contains("SomeText").Or().AddField(Field.Name).Equal("SomeMoreText");

NetGDrive drive = new NetGDrive("YourAppName"); //This constructor uses client credentials from client_secret.json file.
var files = drive.GetFiles(b.Search);
    
    foreach (var file in files)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(file.Name);
        }
