I'm not a programmer, just a regular user of Google Drive. I want to see if the files are uploaded correctly. I go through a whole process in the OAuth 2.0 Playground that lists all files, shows the MD5 checksums but also lots of information per file. If I upload a new file it's hard to search for it and verify its md5 checksum.
Is there an easier way (through an app, maybe?) to show/list MD5 checksums for the uploaded files? I wonder why the Details pane doesn't have it, only lists the file size in bytes.
edit: NB these instructions have changed slightly for the v3 API
I've figured out a quick way to get the MD5 checksums of the files uploaded and decided to share it here, too. Log into your Google Drive account, then:
Visit: https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/reference/files/list
Scroll down to the Try it! section.
Change "Authorize requests using OAuth 2.0" from OFF to ON by clicking on it, then select:
and click Authorize.
Choose your account then click Accept.
Fill in the fields field with:
for v2 API:
items(md5Checksum,originalFilename)
for v3 API:
open "Show standard parameters" in GUI to see fields than
files(md5Checksum,originalFilename)
to only get a list of filenames and MD5 checksums.
Click Execute and you'll open a list with all the files uploaded to Google Drive and their MD5 checksums.
