Method Detail





copy
public Drive.Files.Copy copy(String fileId,
                             File content)
                      throws IOException
Creates a copy of a file and applies any requested updates with patch semantics.

 Create a request for the method "files.copy".

 This request holds the parameters needed by the drive server.  After setting any optional
 parameters, call the AbstractGoogleClientRequest.execute() method to invoke the remote operation.

Parameters:
fileId - The ID of the file.
content - the File
Returns:
the request
Throws:
IOException








create
public Drive.Files.Create create(File content)
                          throws IOException
Creates a new file. This method supports an upload* URI and accepts uploaded media with the
 following characteristics: - *Maximum file size:* 5,120 GB - *Accepted Media MIME types:*`*`
 Note: Specify a valid MIME type, rather than the literal `*` value. The literal `*` is only used
 to indicate that any valid MIME type can be uploaded. For more information on uploading files,
 see [Upload file data](/drive/api/guides/manage-uploads). Apps creating shortcuts with
 `files.create` must specify the MIME type `application/vnd.google-apps.shortcut`. Apps should
 specify a file extension in the `name` property when inserting files with the API. For example,
 an operation to insert a JPEG file should specify something like `"name": "cat.jpg"` in the
 metadata. Subsequent `GET` requests include the read-only `fileExtension` property populated with
 the extension originally specified in the `title` property. When a Google Drive user requests to
 download a file, or when the file is downloaded through the sync client, Drive builds a full
 filename (with extension) based on the title. In cases where the extension is missing, Drive
 attempts to determine the extension based on the file's MIME type.

 Create a request for the method "files.create".

 This request holds the parameters needed by the drive server.  After setting any optional
 parameters, call the AbstractGoogleClientRequest.execute() method to invoke the remote operation.

Parameters:
content - the File
