GoogleDriveFS is a powerful tool that allows you to easily access and manage your Google Drive files from your Windows computer. However, some users have reported encountering a LibCefDLL error that prevents the software from running properly. In this article, we will explore the causes of this error and provide some easy-to-follow solutions to help you fix it.

# Set up Google Drive API credentials
SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive']
SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE = 'path_to_credentials.json'
creds = None
creds = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(
SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE, scopes=SCOPES)
# Connect to Google Drive API

# Define function to upload files to Google Drive
def upload_file_to_drive(file_path, folder_id):
file_metadata = {'name': os.path.basename(file_path), 'parents': [folder_id]}
media = MediaFileUpload(file_path, resumable=True)
file = service.files().create(body=file_metadata, media_body=media, fields='id').execute()
print(f'File ID: {file.get("id")}')
# Define function to download files from Google Drive
def download_file_from_drive(file_id, file_path):
request = service.files().get_media(fileId=file_id)
with open(file_path, 'wb') as file:
downloader = MediaIoBaseDownload(file, request)
done = False
while done is False:
status, done = downloader.next_chunk()
print(f'Download {int(status.progress() * 100)}.')
# Initialize CEF framework
cef.Initialize()
# Define function to display Google Drive in CEF browser
def display_google_drive():
browser = cef.CreateBrowserSync(url='https://drive.google.com/drive/my-drive')
cef.MessageLoop()
# Define main function to run the tool
def main():
# Upload file to Google Drive
file_path = 'path_to_file'
folder_id = 'Google_Drive_folder_id'
upload_file_to_drive(file_path, folder_id)
# Download file from Google Drive
file_id = 'Google_Drive_file_id'
file_path = 'path_to_download_file'
download_file_from_drive(file_id, file_path)
# Display Google Drive in CEF browser
display_google_drive()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
This sample code demonstrates how to use the Google Drive API to upload and download files from a Google Drive account. It also shows how to display the Google Drive interface in a CEF browser using the CEF Python library. However, please note that this is only a rough example, and more code may be required to create a fully functional tool.
