Here's a teaser that uses googledrive to view some of the files you see on https://drive.google.com:

library("googledrive")
drive_find(n_max = 25)
#> Auto-refreshing stale OAuth token.
#> # A tibble: 25 x 3
#>                            name
#>  *                        <chr>
#>  1               chicken-rm.txt
#>  2                  chicken.jpg
#>  3           README-mirrors.csv
#>  4           README-mirrors.csv
#>  5                          def
#>  6                          abc
#>  7               folder1-level4
#>  8               folder1-level3
#>  9      cranberry-TEST-drive-ls
