From this situation, here, I would like to introduce the simple sample scripts for creating, updating and deleting the files and folders on Google Drive using the batch requests with Google Apps Script. Because there are no methods for automatically requests the batch requests. The batch request including 2 API calls of Drive API is called using multipart/mixed. Drive API for modifying filenames is used as PATCH. The following sample script modifies the filenames of 2 files on own Google Drive using Google Apps Script. But in this case, in order to use this batch requests with Google Apps Script, it is required to create the request body of multipart/mixed by each user. For example, Drive API can be used the maximum of 100 calls in one batch request. On the other hand, Drive API can use the batch requests. In this case, the process cost will be high. Namely, for example, the metadata of a lot of files are changed, the methods in Class File and Files: update are required to be used in the loop. In the case of them, when we want to manage a lot of files and folders, unfortunately, both ways have no batch requests. When we want to manage the files and folders on Google Drive, we have 2 ways.

These are the sample scripts of the batch requests for Drive API using Google Apps Script.
