Upload a file to Google Drive

Upload one file into a Google Drive folder, or into My Drive when no folder is given, and return the stored file's id, name and link. Pass filename to choose the name it is stored under. When the folder already holds a file with that name, ifExists decides: fail (the default) uploads nothing, keepBoth adds a second file with a numbered name, replace adds a new version of the existing file and keeps its id.
