Get the source file name including directory when uploading from google drive

[100mi]

Can uppy save the folder location of file that is picked from google drive and saves it in meta if the response is success ? With a sample folder structure in google drive :

- Parent1
    - child1
	    - output.xlsx
	    - output1.xlsx
    - child2
	    - output.xlsx
	    - output1.xlsx

Once we upload the file the response turn out to be something like :

{
        "source": "GoogleDrive",
        "id": "uppy-output/xlsx-1e-application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet-1024",
        "name": "output.xlsx",
        "extension": "xlsx",
        "meta": {
            "name": "output.xlsx",
            "type": "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet"
        },

    }

With the above folder structure , Uppy only seems to provide name of the file as name which is output1.csv and so on , which in case is repetative , hence would it be possible to get the directory name along with other meta values such as dir1/output1.csv

At least with local files it's possible with FileSystemEntry:

uppy.addFile({
  name: 'my-file.jpg', // file name
  type: 'image/jpeg', // file type
  data: blob, // file blob
  meta: {
    // optional, store the directory path of a file so Uppy can tell identical files in different directories apart.
    relativePath: webkitFileSystemEntry.relativePath,
  },
  source: 'Local', // optional, determines the source of the file, for example, Instagram.
  isRemote: false, // optional, set to true if actual file is not in the browser, but on some remote server, for example,
  // when using companion in combination with Instagram.
})

For remote files from Google Drive I'm pretty sure we could add it here:

Would you be willing to investigate and contribute a PR?

I think this has been implemented in #4537

Think so!
