The Google Drive API allows you to upload file data when you create or update a File.
There are three types of uploads you can perform:
Simple upload (uploadType=media). Use this upload type to quickly transfer a small media file (5 MB or less) without supplying metadata.
Multipart upload (uploadType=multipart). Use this upload type to quickly transfer a small file (5 MB or less) and metadata that describes the file, in a single request.
Resumable upload (uploadType=resumable). Use this upload type for large files (greater than 5 MB) and when there's a high chance of network interruption, such as when creating a file from a mobile app. Resumable uploads are also a good choice for most applications because they also work for small files at a minimal cost of one additional HTTP request per upload.
The Google API client libraries implement at least one of the types of uploads. Refer to the client library documentation for additional details on how to use each of the types.

It has examples as well which you can use.
This is a straight forward rest API integration which you can easily implement it
