I am finding myself wanting up upload many files at once, without the desire to download many at once.
Any suggestions on how to do this?

I have folders of images saved on Google Drive and I need to download only the images ending with the letter Z.
Here are a few examples:

Is there a clever way to do this with an API or other methods?
Here is the example made in Laravel where using google Drive API users can filter the files based on the requirements and download multiple files.

I just need a starting place. How would you grab files from Google Drive with PHP? So, you would result in this:
<audio src='Google Drive File'></audio>
I'm just starting programming. Any help would be appreciated...
Are you manually sharing just a few specific files or do you want to fetch the file's link dynamically/using lookups, etc.?
For the first, you can use the Google Drive Direct Link Generator.
The other option is to modify the URL yourself so that something with a shared link like https://drive.google.com/file/d/FILE_ID/edit?usp=sharing becomes https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILE_ID.
If purely non-manual and only in PHP, use the Drive SDK for PHP (beta) or via the REST API, has PHP examples.
I have been looking for quite some time and cannot seem to find the answer I need. I tried using the iframe tag method for Google Docs Viewer to view my files and noticed that pptx, xlsx, etc... PDF seems to be the only one that is visible. So I came to the conclusion I have to use Google Drive and it's API. If that is so, my question is... Can I keep these files hosted on my clients server and use the API to view the files or do they have to be hosted on Google Drive's cloud server? Thank you.
No, this is not possible, sorry. All files are stored on the Google Drive cloud servers.
I have little question. Is there any way (I read API, but maybe...) how to list files in folder using only Google Drive API? I mean without scopes Documents List API.
If I send request GET https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files then I get all files and folders in my Google Drive, but I want to show only files which is inside specific folder.
My english is bad, but I hope you understand me.
If not any way to do this, then I must use Documents List API.
Thanks for answers

Solved. I must use Search string parameters with =q
Let's say I push up a video to Google Drive. I share the video link with various users, is there a way to obtain the # of bytes served, and by whom or of some unique ID?
Sorry, this data is not available from the API. Of course if you are downloading and serving the files through your app, you can generate it yourself.
