You can do this by publishing a web app to run as "Me"(you) with access: "Anyone, even anonymous".

Server side:

function doPost(e){
  const FOLDER_ID = '###FOLDER_ID###';
  var name = e.parameter.name;
  saveFile(e.postData.contents,name,FOLDER_ID);
  return 'Success';
}

function saveFile(data,name,id) { 
    data = Utilities.newBlob(Utilities.base64DecodeWebSafe(data));
    DriveApp.getFolderById(id)
    .createFile(data.setName(name))
}

Client side:

import requests, base64
url = '###WEB_APP_PUBLISHED_URL###'
name = '###FILENAME###'
requests.post(url+'?name='+name,data=base64.urlsafe_b64encode(open('##UPLOAD FILE PATH##','rb').read()))

Note:

• Anyone who knows the web app url can upload to your drive
