Demonstrates a file upload to Google Drive where the contents of the file are contained in a string variable. C#

bool success = false;

// This example will upload a file to Google Drive.

// It requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Obtain an access token as shown in one of the following examples:
// See Get Access Token using a Service Account JSON Key
// See Get Access Token using a P12 File
