How to programatically check the available space on Google Drive from an Android app

I am trying to upload a file from my Android app which I am able to. But before that I want to check the available space on my Google Drive.

I am using Google Drive API (version 2). I tried multiple option but wasn't able to find that information.

Can someone tell me how to fetch the Google Drive free space.

Look at the sample Java code for the About: get method, which returns the total quota and the user quota in bytes. Calculating the free space remaining should be a trivial task from there.

have a look at this great sample: Documentation

private static void printAbout(Drive service) {
   try {
     About about = service.about().get().execute();

     System.out.println("Current user name: " + about.getName());
     System.out.println("Root folder ID: " + about.getRootFolderId());
     System.out.println("Total quota (bytes): " + about.getQuotaBytesTotal());
     System.out.println("Used quota (bytes): " + about.getQuotaBytesUsed());
         // TOTAL - USED = FREE SPACE
   } catch (IOException e) {
     System.out.println("An error occurred: " + e);
   }

}
