Error 403: Rate Limit Exceeded'' at self.service.Files.List().''

This happens frequently when ``sync upload''ing a folder with a large number of files.

Failed listing files: googleapi: Error 403: Rate Limit Exceeded, rateLimitExceeded

The location of this error is the below in the list.go:

err := self.service.Files.List().Q(args.query).Fields(args.fields...).OrderBy(args.sortOrder).PageSize(pageSize).Pages(context.TODO(), func(fl *drive.FileList) error {

How can we rewrite this query to eliminate the rate limit?
Does using the pageToken mitigate the rate?

But many times, I uploaded only a few files I got the same error.

Also don't use the public API from the creator of gdrive. Look here: #426 or here #426 (comment)

"What causes the problem?

The developer made one API for this program and an Google API can "only" make 10 million requests at a day. That means that too many people use this program and the requests gets full."

It seems that the problem soleved by changing ClientId/ClientSecret.

Thank you.

(In this process, syncable directories became not-syncable. Maybe bacause an application is identified by ClientId and AppProperties' syncRoot stored for each ClientId. It is safe but cause such problem. So how about chage AppProperties and syncRootId with Properties and URI for all forked gdrive descendant?)

It didn't work because the API gets overflooded with requests
