I have google drive of 1TB storage but my local computer hard drive is 150 GB. How can I limit the size of my google drive folder on my machine e.g. google drive folder dont exceed 50 GB.
Not possible. What you can do instead is configure it to only sync certain folders to your computer. Maybe you have one huge folder you dont want to sync for example.

I want to get all shared drive, large 1000 shared drive via API or export it to a list
only get 1000 shared drive via admin and API
In google document about shared drive, they limit view 1000 shared drive,
Drive lists up to 1,000 shared drives in the left navigation. You can still access the other shared drives using the direct URL, or search for specific files and folders in the shared drives.

How to list all >1000 shared drive via API, or export to a list?
Thank you
Happy to show my friends, I found the way to do that.
we need account admin, the account can access to this link
we need add param useDomainAdminAccess=true
Easy we can test easy before coding in Google playground

And here is my result I can load 1699 shared drive
Thank you for my friends K, M, and Tanaike, I am happy to see you.
In my google console it says here Cloud Storage pricing
that the price for standard storage is $.026 per gigabyte month, which I think means that 500 gigs stored during one month will cost $13 since 500 * .026 = 13. But this article The Google Drive Price Cut Changes The Game For Personal Cloud Storage says:
Google is making a terabyte of cloud storage available for just $10
I don't see where you upload data to Google drive at Google cloud console.
My second question is that I want to make sure that I can create a virtual instance and connect it to Google drive or Storage and read the data from it and put that data into the RAM of the virtual instance.
Google Drive
is a web application which works as a file store allowing users to store files. Communication with it is normally done though the web application itself however developers can use the Google drive api to interact with google drive programticlly.
You may want to go though the documentation on the Google drive api to understand what its capable of.
Google cloud storage
is designed as a Unified object storage for developers and enterprises Cloud Storage allows world-wide storage and retrieval of any amount of data at any time. You can use Cloud Storage for a range of scenarios including serving website content, storing data for archival and disaster recovery, or distributing large data objects to users via direct download.
Interaction with this is done primarrly though the cloud console and command line tools.

You dont cloud console wont help you upload to google drive.

Google drive is a web application you cant create a virtual instance of that.

I am trying to get the specific folder size with the Google cloud REST API.
I have tried for "about" method with REST API but in this method I am getting the Total used bytes and total available free space for my overall cloud storage.
But I want a total size of specific folder in google cloud with API.
So, Is there any way to get the specific folder size in google cloud drive API.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Whilst I agree with #pinoyyid's answer, I do disagree with their reasoning.
Just because the file structure is effectively flat doesn't mean that you can't derive a folder size.
A lovely example of something that does this is this app -https://gdrivefoldersize.appspot.com/
N.B: Due to the way Google Drive is designed, a file/folder can be in multiple locations, which feels more like symlink. As such, you may get an inaccurate size for a folder and therefore an unrepresentative total size of the drive if the file/folder sizes were all added up separately.
No there isn't, nor will there be. You need to understand that in Drive, files do NOT live within a folder. Rather, having a parent folder is simply an attribute of a file.
I created a Google Service Account to upload and download files using Google Drive API.
I have a quota of 100 GB in my main Google Drive account.
The files that I upload using the Google Drive API counts to this 100 Gb?
Thanks
Based off previous information (here and here) it seems the service account has its own storage that you may not be able to increase. I'm not entirely sure if this still stands today, as I could not find any other information in the docs. If it is the case, you may want to use your actual account (which would share the storage), if you need more space. I believe for larger storage size, Google Cloud would be better than Drive.
I've a Google Developer project created and enabled drive API through which I'm uploading files to drive.
There are limits in terms of number of requests but are there any other limits in terms of size of files, total capacity... using via api for a project.
The Limit Size of uploading files in Google Drive is 10 GB.
Google Drive offers 5 GB of free space. The Size of Google Drive can be increased. It depends on your interest. The Pricing factors are depends on the users choice.
