How can I get share link of file/folder by path to the file on insalled google drive in python?

I installed Google Drive on my computer (Windows 11 x64) to drive G:\
I want to be able to get a shared link for a specific file/folder that I have a path to.
Google Drive will have duplicate file/folder.
How can i do this whith python?
Thanks in advance
Edited:
I managed to get a link for specific file name, but now I have a problem if there are 2+ files with the same file name in Google Drive.
For example I want link of this file G:\RootFolder\Subfolder1\Subfolder2\myfile.txt but there is another file with same name G:\RootFolder\Subfolder3\Subfolder4\Subfolder5\myfile.txt. How can I give link only for G:\RootFolder\Subfolder1\Subfolder2\myfile.txt ?

I managed to create script that works for me.

Upload large file not working - Google Drive Python API

This script works for small files, but not when I try to upload a large file (250MB). When I manually upload the same large file to GD it takes less than 10 seconds, so I assume my connection is not the problem.

flow = client.flow_from_clientsecrets(r'C:\Users\lucas.rezende\.credentials\client_secret.json', scope=SCOPES)
creds = tools.run_flow(flow, store, flags) if flags else tools.run(flow, store)
DRIVE = build('drive', 'v3', http=creds.authorize(Http()))
FILES = (
('OfertasMensais_20170418_n.xlsx', 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet'),
)
for filename, mimeType in FILES:
media_body = MediaFileUpload(filename, chunksize=1024*256, resumable = True)
folder_id = '0000'
metadata = {'name': filename, 'parents': [folder_id]}
if mimeType:
metadata['mimeType'] = mimeType
res = DRIVE.files().create(body=metadata, media_body=filename).execute()
if res:
print('Uploaded "%s" (%s)' % (filename, res['mimeType']))
When I run python uploadfile.py cmd screen stays like that eternally:
Can someone help to discover how to make this work? I am not a professional programmer and I am stuck into this for almost two hours trying to make this work.

Following the chunked paradigm, you need to specifically call the next_chunk() to continue with an upload. see here: https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/guide/media_upload#resumable-media-chunked-upload
for filename, mimeType in FILES:
media_body = MediaFileUpload(filename, chunksize=1024*256, resumable = True)
if mimeType:
metadata['mimeType'] = mimeType
req = DRIVE.files().insert(body=metadata, media_body=filename)
res = None
while res is None:
status, res = req.next_chunk()
if status :
print('Uploading %d%% "%s" (%s)' % (status.progress(), filename, res['mimeType']))
print("Upload Complete!")

The solution for this with v3 is to use the chunked approach, but with the create() function rather than insert()
res = None
media_body = MediaFileUpload(filename, chunksize=1024*256, resumable = True)
drive_request = self.drive.files().create(body=metadata,media_body=media_body)
while res is None:
status, res = drive_request.next_chunk()

How to loop over nextPageToken using GoogleDrive's Python Quickstart

My goal is to have a list of all of the items & folders in everyone's Google Drive. I'm starting with trying to make sure the script works on my own. I have read cover-to-cover the Drive REST API documentation, and eventually found this code, which can also be found here.

My problem is with the nextPageToken, and how to properly use it. The max PageSize is 1000, so I must loop over the nextPageToken, fetch it from the resulting JSON, put it back into the original loop (line 66?), to get another 1000 results. How do I do this?

Let's look the google drive api documentation for the File:list Method
In the fields of your request you are asking the nextPageToken, the result will contain the token for the nextPage (if the nextPage exists).
The result will be something like this :
{
...,
"nextPageToken": "V1*3|0|XXXXXX",
"files": [
{
...
},...
]
}
you can extract nextPageToken value like :
token = results.get('nextPageToken', None)
The List method can take the string parameter pageToken :
The token for continuing a previous list request on the next page.
This should be set to the value of 'nextPageToken' from the previous
response.
Just set the parameter pageToken in the next request to get the next page of results :
results = service.files().list(
pageSize=1000,
pageToken=token,
fields="nextPageToken, files(mimeType, name)").execute()
items = results.get('files', [])
Now you can easily make a loop to get all result.

I will try to demonstrate the concept for you but you'll do the implementation in Python. The short answer is, nextPageToken. nextPageTokens enable you to retrieve the results from the next page.
When you perform a GET request, a nextPageToken will always be included in the response so if you had 1000 results but you only wanted to display 20 per page, you can fetch the remaining 980 files using nextPageToken.
Run this URL and you'll see something like:
"kind": "drive#fileList",
"nextPageToken": "V1*3|0|CjkxOHY2aDdROE9JYkJGWUJEaU5Ybm1OVURSemJTcWFMa2lRQlVJSnVxYmI2YkYzMmhnVHozeWkwRnASBxCqqcG4kis",
"incompleteSearch": false,
The value of the nextPageToken here is what you use to get to the next page. When you get to the next page and you have more results, a new nextPageToken will be generated for you until you view/get all the results (980-1000).

You must looping while token (for the nextpage) is not null, like this code at the end:
(do not forget to install -->
pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client google-auth-httplib2 google-auth-oauthlib
Copy and paste this code (Do not forget to change your paths and your googleDrive folder ID, at the end)

I had quite a bit of trouble with this. I didn't read the example closely enough to notice that nextPageToken & newStartPageToken were not the same thing.
I split up the functions a little and added a loop. Basically, return the startPageToken and loop over the same function / call the function as required.

Google spreadsheets don't have media. Instead they have exportLinks. Get the file metadata, then look in the exportlinks and pick an appropriate URL.

This code worked for me. I only had to download client_secret.json from google developers dashboard and keep in the same directory as python script.
And in the list_of_lists variable I got a list with each row as list.
import gspread
import json
from oauth2client.client import SignedJwtAssertionCredentials
json_key = json.load(open('client_secret.json'))
scope = ['https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds']
credentials = SignedJwtAssertionCredentials(json_key['client_email'], json_key['private_key'], scope)
gc = gspread.authorize(credentials)
sht1 = gc.open_by_key('<id_of_sheet>')
worksheet_list = sht1.worksheets()
worksheet = sht1.sheet1
list_of_lists = worksheet.get_all_values()
for row in list_of_lists :
print row
