Uploading heavy files to gdrive fails with httplib2.error.RedirectMissingLocation raised by googleapiclient

When trying to upload a heavy file (112Mo) to google drive, process freezes for a while then throws the following error:

First reference to a similar issue: #googlearchive/PyDrive#27
A potential fix by pinning the versions of the underlying APIs (didn't work): #googleapis/google-api-python-client#803
2021 deprecation notice for pydrive: #googlearchive/PyDrive@42022f9

Proposed solution: switch to pydrive2, which is actively maintained.
