Structure

Basically it is a script that runs, scans the folders and performs an upload of found files to Google Drive. If the file is uploaded, and the 'deleteAfter' is set it is deleted. For added security the minimal oauth scope is used (the one that can access only the files that were created using the app) To run the script at sertain intervals an external tool can be used like cron or pm2. Config: a separate file config.js and credentials.json with Google credentials.
