Hi,

First of all, thanks for this great script, I’ve been using it for a year now. But now I’ve hit the wall: “The user has exceeded their Drive storage quota”.
The script never quite worked as I expected: once every couple of days it would create the backup folder again, even though there already existed a folder with that name, and all new files were updated to that folder. After a couple of months there were many backup folders shared with me. I started to delete them (delete the folders, not each file). This might have been a bad idea.
Anyway, now the script is not working at all, because the drive storage quota has been exceeded. Is there any solution to this? Is there a way for me to log into that account and clean it to free up space?

Thanks

This was very helpful, just what I needed, thanks a lot! Only had trouble with the fact that it needs PHP 5.3 or later, otherwise Drive API does not work because of some crypto algorithm limitations. Now I’m curios how much space does that “Service account” has. Is there a way to log into that account like I do in my personal account?

Hi,
awesome script! I’ve replaced my script with yours (which using private key). One question, how to ignore emails I get after uploading to GD?

Email content was:
I’ve shared an item with you.
Item filename.txt
