Setup

1. go to https://console.cloud.google.com/welcome
2. Create project: near GoogleCloud logo -> Create Project -> New Project

5. generate credentials: navigation menu -> APIs & Services -> Credentials -> DesktopApp -> Download JSON credentials file
6. generate authentication token: Run the ./update_drive.py script for the first time. It will ask you to open link to authorize with Google account. This will generate *.pickle file
7. encode the token file in base-64: base64 -w 0 token_drive_v3.pickle > token_b64.txt command
8. encode the credentials file in base-64: base64 -w 0 credentials.json > credentials_b64.txt
9. set secrects in GitHub repo: GitHub -> Settings -> Security | Serets and variables -> Actions -> New Repository Secret -> GDRIVE_TOKEN_B64 and GDRIVE_CREDENTIALS_B64
10. get google drive folder id: Google Drive -> Share -> Copy Link. Copy part after /folders/
11. set google drive folder id: in update_drive.py change YOUR_FOLDER_ID to your destination google drive folder ID extracted in the previous step
12. voila!: any file you put in shared folder and commit will be automatically uploaded to Google Drive
