Paste the file into a specific folder using google-drive-api

Question

I tried as shown below. But the file goes to the root directory (My-Drive).

var metadata = { 'title': fileData.fileName, 'mimeType': contentType, 'parents':["0B6NmmF3ovpsbExuOEc1R2JzSFEp"] // It is one of my folder id. }; var base64Data = btoa(reader.result); var multipartRequestBody = delimiter + 'Content-Type: application/json\r\n\r\n' + JSON.stringify(metadata) + delimiter + 'Content-Type: ' + contentType + '\r\n' + 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n' + '\r\n' + base64Data + close_delim; var request = gapi.client.request({ 'path': '/upload/drive/v2/files', 'method': 'POST', 'params': {'uploadType': 'multipart'}, 'headers': { 'Content-Type': 'multipart/mixed; boundary="' + boundary + '"' }, 'body': multipartRequestBody}); request.execute(callback); 

Answer 1

I solved the problem.

The error was on this line:

 'parents':["0B6NmmF3ovpsbExuOEc1R2JzSFEp"] 

The line should be:

 'parents':[{"id":"0B6NmmF3ovpsbExuOEc1R2JzSFEp"}]
