Overview This is a Google Apps Script library for creating, updating and exporting Google Apps Script project of the standalone type using Drive API. In this case, Apps Script API is not used.
Description I had reported “Drive API cannot create Google Apps Script project no longer” before. Ref About this, I had reported the future request. Ref At July 30, 2020, I could confirm that the Google Apps Script project of the standalone type got to be able to be created by multipart/form-data using Drive API again.

I have reported “Drive API cannot create Google Apps Script project no longer”. Ref About this, I had reported the future request. Ref Today, I could confirm that the Google Apps Script project of the standalone type got to be able to be created by multipart/form-data using Drive API. This is a good news for me. By this, the following 2 patterns can be used from now.
Pattern 1: Create new standalone GAS project by Apps Script API.

But I confirmed that in the current stage, the scope is required to be changed to the following scopes.

Overview This is Google Apps Script library for copying folder on Google Drive.
Description I have sometimes the situation that it is required to back up the folder on Google Drive to Google Drive.

This library can copy the folder on Google Drive.
