Google drive doesn't allow you to copy folders from your main drive to a team drive/shared drive. This is a hassle when you have to move folders with a lot of smaller sub folders in it. This simple python scripts does that easily for you.
-
pip install -r requirements.txt (needs python version > 2.6) ps: seems like the requirements list is fucked up and listed all the global packages, please use your own discretion

Place your GDrive API credentials or use the included hacky quickstart one

This script takes 3 inputs:
* folderid - The id of the folder whose contents you want to copy over * destid - The id of the destination folder * driveid - The destination folder's team drive id
It will copy all the contents of the folder with the given folder id and and paste them in the destination folder.
Note: The last part of the folder url will be its id
For a folder with url https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_Hy5UChYJu0T2JsVFFyTnM1YTg
, its id will be 0B_Hy5UChYJu0T2JsVFFyTnM1YTg
