'What Is the Correct Mimetype (in and out) for a .Py File for Google Drive?
I have a script that uploads files to Google Drive. I want to upload python files. I can do it manually and have it keep the file as .py correctly (and it's previewable), but no matter what mimetypes I try, I can't get my program to upload it correctly. It can upload the file as a .txt or as something GDrive can't recognize, but not as a .py file. I can't find an explicit mimetype for it (I found a reference for text/x-script.python but it doesn't work as an out mimetype).
Does anyone know how to correctly upload a .py file to Google Drive using REST?
Solution 1:[1]
In your situation, I think that text/x-python can be used for uploading the python scripts as the mimeType. For example, the curl sample is as follows.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer [access token]" \
-F "metadata={name: 'sampleFile.py', mimeType: 'text/x-python'};type=application/json;charset=UTF-8" \
-F "[email protected]" \
"https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=multipart"

Also this is a valid Python mimetype: text/x-script.python
