Is it possible for Google Drive Api to generate a duplicate folder? I have a piece of code for a rails application that create a folder on the user's google drive account based on some input. However, I have two of my users reporting that the application has created duplicate folders on their GDrive account. In both cases it had happened randomly. Please I would like some help with what to do to prevent my code to produce duplicate folders?
To reiterate @Jeffrey Tanner's: Does Google Drive API provide a way to avoid creating folders and return conflict if duplication is detected? Or does Google Drive have another recommended approach via API for handling duplication? Tagging? A solution to search first for duplicate before creating would not work because it would lead to race-condition.
