Optional Parameters

appPropertiesARRAY

OPTIONALA collection of arbitrary key-value pairs which are private to the requesting app. Entries with null values are cleared in update and copy requests.

parentsLIST

OPTIONALThe IDs of the parent folders which contain the file. If not specified as part of a create request, the file will be placed directly in the My Drive folder. Update requests must use the addParents and removeParents parameters to modify the values.

propertiesARRAY

OPTIONALA collection of arbitrary key-value pairs which are visible to all apps. Entries with null values are cleared in update and copy requests.

fieldsLIST

OPTIONALList of fields.To display all fields, use `*`. Examples: kind, user, storageQuota, importFormats, exportFormats, maxImportSizes, maxUploadSize, appInstalled, folderColorPalette, teamDriveThemes

supportsTeamDrivesSELECT

OPTIONALWhether the requesting application supports Team Drives. (Default: false)

keepRevisionForeverSELECT

OPTIONALWhether to set the 'keepForever' field in the new head revision. This is only applicable to files with binary content in Drive. (Default: false)

ignoreDefaultVisibilitySELECT

OPTIONALWhether to ignore the domain's default visibility settings for the created file. Domain administrators can choose to make all uploaded files visible to the domain by default; this parameter bypasses that behavior for the request. Permissions are still inherited from parent folders. (Default: false)

ocrLanguageSTRING

OPTIONALA language hint for OCR processing during image import (ISO 639-1 code).

contentHintsThumbnailMimeTypeSTRING

OPTIONALThe MIME type of the thumbnail.

mimeTypeSTRING

OPTIONALThe MIME type of the file. Drive will attempt to automatically detect an appropriate value from uploaded content if no value is provided. The value cannot be changed unless a new revision is uploaded. If a file is created with a Google Doc MIME type, the uploaded content will be imported if possible. The supported import formats are published in the About resource.

nameSTRING

OPTIONALThe name of the file. This is not necessarily unique within a folder. Note that for immutable items such as the top level folders of Team Drives, My Drive root folder, and Application Data folder the name is constant.

contentHintsThumbnailImageSTRING

OPTIONALThe thumbnail data encoded with URL-safe Base64 (RFC 4648 section 5).

descriptionSTRING

OPTIONALA short description of the file.

modifiedTimeDATEPICKER

OPTIONALThe last time the file was modified by anyone (RFC 3339 date-time). Note that setting modifiedTime will also update modifiedByMeTime for the user.

starredSELECT

OPTIONALWhether the user has starred the file.

viewersCanCopyContentSELECT

OPTIONALWhether users with only reader or commenter permission can copy the file's content. This affects copy, download, and print operations.

writersCanShareSELECT

OPTIONALWhether users with only writer permission can modify the file's permissions. Not populated for Team Drive files.

viewedByMeTimeDATEPICKER

OPTIONALThe last time the file was viewed by the user (RFC 3339 date-time).
