Schema validation of existing directories

[calebfaruki]

Abstract

The departments currently using Google Drive frequently change convention on how to name and structure their folders, inevitably leading to destructive or time-wasting scenarios where departments are out-of-sync.

To hedge against the potential risk of this, extending the GDrive library to validate a directory against a given schema would give a developer a programmatic way to report on these issues.

Proposed option(s)

exclusive boolean (default: false)

• By default, validation function should only respond with the files from the schema that are not currently in the directory.
• When true, this should also return files that are not in the schema, but are present in the directory. This could potentially flag edge cases that have, so far, evaded a developer's solution.
