`kind`	`string`	Identifies what kind of resource this is. Value: the fixed string `"drive#file"`.
`id`	`string`	The ID of the file.	writable
`name`	`string`	The name of the file. This is not necessarily unique within a folder. Note that for immutable items such as the top level folders of shared drives, My Drive root folder, and Application Data folder the name is constant.	writable
`mimeType`	`string`	The MIME type of the file. Google 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.	writable
`description`	`string`	A short description of the file.	writable
`starred`	`boolean`	Whether the user has starred the file.	writable
`trashed`	`boolean`	Whether the file has been trashed, either explicitly or from a trashed parent folder. Only the owner may trash a file. The trashed item is excluded from all files.list responses returned for any user who does not own the file. However, all users with access to the file can see the trashed item metadata in an API response. All users with access can copy, download, export, and share the file.	writable
`explicitlyTrashed`	`boolean`	Whether the file has been explicitly trashed, as opposed to recursively trashed from a parent folder.
`parents[]`	`list`	The 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 user's My Drive folder. If not specified as part of a copy request, the file will inherit any discoverable parents of the source file. Update requests must use the `addParents` and `removeParents` parameters to modify the parents list.	writable
`properties`	`object`	A collection of arbitrary key-value pairs which are visible to all apps. Entries with null values are cleared in update and copy requests.	writable
`properties.(key)`	`string`
`appProperties`	`object`	A collection of arbitrary key-value pairs which are private to the requesting app. Entries with null values are cleared in update and copy requests. These properties can only be retrieved using an authenticated request. An authenticated request uses an access token obtained with a OAuth 2 client ID. You cannot use an API key to retrieve private properties.	writable
`appProperties.(key)`	`string`
`spaces[]`	`list`	The list of spaces which contain the file. The currently supported values are 'drive', 'appDataFolder' and 'photos'.

Methods

copy: Creates a copy of a file and applies any requested updates with patch semantics. Folders cannot be copied.
create: Creates a file.
delete: Permanently deletes a file owned by the user without moving it to the trash. If the file belongs to a shared drive the user must be an organizer on the parent. If the target is a folder, all descendants owned by the user are also deleted.
emptyTrash: Permanently deletes all of the user's trashed files.
export: Exports a Google Workspace document to the requested MIME type and returns exported byte content. Note that the exported content is limited to 10MB.
generateIds: Generates a set of file IDs which can be provided in create or copy requests.
get: Gets a file's metadata or content by ID.
list: Lists or searches files.
update: Updates a file's metadata and/or content. When calling this method, only populate fields in the request that you want to modify. When updating fields, some fields might change automatically, such as modifiedDate. This method supports patch semantics.
watch: Subscribes to changes to a file. While you can establish a channel for changes to a file on a shared drive, a change to a shared drive file won't create a notification.
listLabels: Lists the labels on a file.
modifyLabels: Modifies the set of labels on a file.
