I'm trying to create a simple python script that does the following.

1.Import the necessary Libraries.

2.Connect/Authenticate to Google drive.

3.Check a folder on google drive for file names and then upload all files that are not on the drive yet from a specific folder on computer to the checked folder on google drive.

4.repeat every hour, If no new files found then restart loop.

this is what i tried so far but i get errors when running the script, The issue is it cannot find the credentials.json file.

The credentials.json file is in the same folder as the settings.yaml and the Setup.py

I was expecting to be directed to a login page when running the script.

To be fair i know very very little about python and the most experience i have with coding would be from my old modded minecraft days using lua. on computercraft. hahah thanks for your help in advance.**
