Hi @Stormwaker,

I'm unable to replicate the error. It looks like you are using this sample showing simple uploads.

Could you try again with the code below?

from __future__ import print_function
import pickle
import os.path
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from googleapiclient.http import MediaFileUpload
from google_auth_oauthlib.flow import InstalledAppFlow
from google.auth.transport.requests import Request

# If modifying these scopes, delete the file token.pickle.
SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive']

def main():
    creds = None
    # The file token.pickle stores the user's access and refresh tokens, and is
    # created automatically when the authorization flow completes for the first
    # time.
    if os.path.exists('token.pickle'):
        with open('token.pickle', 'rb') as token:
            creds = pickle.load(token)
    # If there are no (valid) credentials available, let the user log in.
    if not creds or not creds.valid:
        if creds and creds.expired and creds.refresh_token:
            creds.refresh(Request())
        else:
            flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file(
                'credentials.json', SCOPES)
            creds = flow.run_local_server(port=0)
        # Save the credentials for the next run
        with open('token.pickle', 'wb') as token:
            pickle.dump(creds, token)

    service = build('drive', 'v3', credentials=creds)

    file_metadata = {'name': 'photo.jpg'}
    media = MediaFileUpload('files/photo.jpg',
                            mimetype='image/jpeg')
    file = service.files().create(body=file_metadata,
                                        media_body=media,
                                        fields='id').execute()
    print ('File ID: %s' % file.get('id'))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

I've noticed that there was a typo in the path to photo I wanted to upload. So I think that the error might be coming from exception handling. Full error reads:

Exception ignored in: <function MediaFileUpload.__del__ at 0x7fe736c88d40>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/maccutkiewicz/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/googleapiclient/http.py", line 567, in __del__
    self._fd.close()
AttributeError: 'MediaFileUpload' object has no attribute '_fd'

👍 I'm able to replicate it if I misspell the filename.

I got the same error while executing MediaFileUpload() but It's fine to work in the windows machine. Anyone here can please help me. Thanks

When I use the right directory and file address, it doesn't give me this error. My directory path starts with /Users//<folder_name>/<file_name>

@NikhilTank35

media = MediaFileUpload('files/photo.jpg',
                            mimetype='image/jpeg')

Make sure that files/photo.jpeg is a valid path. I was getting the same error, realized that I have no file at files/photo.jpeg in my repo.
