I am looking for a node that I can use to write a file to Google Drive. Searching in the flows library finds numerous google related nodes but so far I haven't found one that says it will do that. Does anyone know how to do it, if it is possible?

the truth, this interests me.  
I don't think there is an effective node for this but there is an api for node.js. I think that calling it with a global context variable could do something

Did you see this one: node-red-contrib-google-storage and this one [https://github.com/Agile-IoT/node-red-contrib-agile-googledrive](https://github.com/Agile-IoT/node-red-contrib-agile-googledrive)

Never used Google drive myself so not sure if it works.

Thanks @Nxito and @edje11 it looks like there is a bit of work to do to get it going. I may have to go for an alternative solution for the moment till I can find some time.
