How about this modification?
Modification points:
In your script, from the endpoint of https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=resumable, it is found that you are using Drive API v3. In this case, in order to set the filename, it is required to use the property of name. In your script, title is used. In this case, it is for Drive API v2. So please modify as follows.
Modified script:
Please modify your script as follows.
From:
title: "myfile.backup"
To:
name: "myfile.backup"
Reference:
Files: create
If this was not the direct solution of your issue, I apologize.
Added:
As a simple sample script, I added a sample script. In this sample script, a text file is uploaded using the resumable upload. In this case, the file is uploaded as the filename of "sample". And you can see the text of foo in the uploaded file.
Sample script:
const request = require('request');
const accessToken = "###"; // Please set your access token.
request({
method: 'POST',
url: 'https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=resumable',
headers: {
"Authorization": `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
body: JSON.stringify({name: "sample", mimeType: "text/plain"})
}, (err, res) => {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
return;
}
request({
method: 'PUT',
url: res.headers.location,
headers: {"Content-Range": "bytes 0-2/3"},
body: Buffer.from("foo")
}, (err, res) => {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
return;
}
console.log(res.statusCode)
console.log(res.body)
});
});
Using the property of name, the metadata of file has the filename of sample.
But unfortunately, from your replying, I cannot understand about your current issue. So can I ask you about the detail information about the problem persists? And in order to correctly understand about your situation, can you provide the detail flow and whole script for replicating your issue? Of course, please remove your personal information.
