Using Google Picker to upload files to Google Drive and place in specific folder

Solution

You have to add:

enableFeature(google.picker.Feature.MULTISELECT_ENABLED)

In your case it becomes:

    var picker = new google.picker.PickerBuilder().
            enableFeature(google.picker.Feature.MULTISELECT_ENABLED).
            addView(view).
            addView(uploadView).
            setAppId("pressomatic").
            setCallback(pickerCallback).
            build();
        picker.setVisible(true);
    }

Problem

I am attempting to use Google Picker to upload files to a specific folder in Google Drive. Everything works fine when I am just uploading to the root folder, but even after specifying the parent folder as shown in my code below, the files still go to the root folder, not the folder I am specifying. I am certain the folderID is correct, as I am using the same ID elsewhere to create textiles in my GAE app, and place them in subfolders. My code is below: ``` function createPicker() { // Create a view to search images. var view = new google.picker.View(google.picker.ViewId.DOCS); view.setMimeTypes('image/png,image/jpeg'); // Use DocsUploadView to upload documents to Google Drive. var uploadView = new google.picker.DocsUploadView().setParent('THE Parent folder ID'); var picker = new google.picker.PickerBuilder(). addView(view). addView(uploadView). setAppId("pressomatic"). setCallback(pickerCallback). build(); picker.setVisible(true); } ```
