I\'m up

Answer 1

Following the peleyal's commentary I solved my problem. I'm still using rest calls and not drive api, but I checked out the drive api source code and find out that they are using the HttpRequestMessage class. Changing my code from WebRequest to HttpRequestMessage solved the problem:

var request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, uri);
string strData = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(jsonObject);

var content = new StringContent(strData, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
content.Headers.ContentType = new System.Net.Http.Headers.MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
request.Content = content;

Why don't you use the Google APIs .NET client library? As you can see in our Media page we support resumable media upload which is very easy to use, and will handle server errors for you.
