New Component: Google Drive File/Folder Picker (Official Google Picker API) 🚀

Custom Components

Welcome to Streamlit Google Picker

I built a component that lets you pick files/folders directly from Google Drive — with full multi-select, folder selection, and MIME type filtering.

Example of the Streamlit Google Picker in action

:small_blue_diamond: Medium article (setup & code)
:small_blue_diamond: GitHub repository

It works just like st.file_uploader but for Google Drive — feedback and ideas welcome!

Installation

Open a terminal and run:

pip install streamlit-google-picker

Quickstart

For the Google Cloud APIs setup, check the medium article.

For the complete OAuth 2.0 setup (including login and token refresh), see this exemple.

token = st.session_state["token"]["access_token"]  # From your OAuth2 flow
CLIENT_ID = os.environ["GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID"]
API_KEY = os.environ["GOOGLE_API_KEY"]
APP_ID = CLIENT_ID.split("-")[0]

# ==== Google Picker Component ====
uploaded_files = google_picker(
    label="Pick files from Google Drive",
    token=access_token,
    apiKey=API_KEY,
    appId=APP_ID,
    accept_multiple_files=True,                     # Enable multi-select (like st.file_uploader)
    type=["pdf", "png"],                            # Restrict to pdf, png
    allow_folders=True,                             # Allow folder selection
    view_ids=None,                                  # Tabs: DOCS, Spreadsheets, FOLDERS (custom views)
    nav_hidden=True,                                # Show navigation pane
    key="google_picker"
    )

if uploaded_files:
    for f in uploaded_files:
        st.write(f"Filename: {f.name}, Size: {f.size_bytes}")
        data = f.read()
        st.write(f"Bytes: {len(data)}")
