In this video tutorial, you will learn how to upload a file to Google Drive with Node.js using a service account.

A service account is a special type of Google account that can be used to authorize applications to access Google APIs. Service accounts are often used in server-side applications, where it is not possible to use a traditional user account.

To upload a file to Google Drive with a service account, you will need to:

Create a service account in the Google Cloud Console.
Download the service account credentials file.
Install the required Node.js packages.
Write a Node.js script to upload the file to Google Drive.
In this video, I will walk you through each of these steps step-by-step.

Benefits of using a service account to upload files to Google Drive:

Improved security: Service accounts do not have passwords, so you do not need to worry about your credentials being compromised.
Scalability: Service accounts can be used to authorize multiple applications to access Google APIs, making it easy to scale your application.
Simplicity: Service accounts are easy to manage and configure.
