Python Automatically Back up Files to Google Drive

Question

I am currently planning to automatically back up files to Google Drive like this: 1. Create a script to do the job:

import glob, os, shutil
src = r'/Users/me'
dst = r'/Users/me/Google Drive/Code'

files = glob.iglob(os.path.join(src, "*.ipynb"))
for file in files:
    if os.path.isfile(file):
        shutil.copy2(file, dst)

2. Transform my scrip into an app using py2app (not yet attempted).

3. Use Automator to run the .app file periodically.

The problem I'm currently facing in step 1 is that when files get copied to the Google Drive folder, they are "black listed."

Is this even a good approach? I feel like there is a better way to do this.

Thanks in advance!
