If you want to upload any file to Google Drive, then use the below code with Synchronization task, it will upload your file to Drive.

AsyncTask task = new AsyncTask() 
                {
            @Override
            protected String doInBackground(Void... params) 
            {
               String file_type="video/mp4"; //write your file type
               File body = new File();                   
               File FileRtr = null;
               body.setTitle(myfile.getName());
               body.setMimeType(file_type);
               body.setParents(Arrays.asList(new ParentReference().setId(LocationID))); //LocationID means the path in the drive e where you want to upload it
            try 
            {
              FileContent mediaContent = new FileContent(file_type, myfile);
              FileRtr = mService.files().insert(body, mediaContent).execute();

              if ( FileRtr != null) 
              {
                System.out.println("File uploaded: " +  FileRtr.getTitle());

              }
              }
                catch (IOException e) 
                {
                 System.out.println("An error occurred: " + e.getMessage());
                }
                return null;

            } 
            protected void onPostExecute(String token) 
            {
             Toast.makeText(mContext, "Uploaded Successfuly",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            } 
            };
        task.execute();
