I am developing a Java program that will upload documents to Google Drive. I found that if I try to upload to an existing folder, that I have to make sure that it is case sensitive to the existing folder. If my existing folder is on the Root labelled HDDocs, then I must input the path as "/HDDocs/10/05/01". Doing this works fine and the files are uploaded to the correct path on Google Drive - as long as I use mu personal gmail account. As soon as I try to do this on my Google Apps account, a brand new folder is created, also called HDDOcs and the files are loaded into this folder, and not the original.

So on my Google App Drive, I have two root folders labeled HDDocs.

Any feedback would be great.

File and folder names in Google Drive are not unique, so you should't rely on that to identify your targets. Instead, you should always use the unique id.
