get_media(fileId, supportsTeamDrives=None, supportsAllDrives=None, acknowledgeAbuse=None)

Gets a file's metadata or content by ID.

Args:
  fileId: string, The ID of the file. (required)
  supportsTeamDrives: boolean, Deprecated use supportsAllDrives instead.
  supportsAllDrives: boolean, Deprecated - Whether the requesting application supports both My Drives and shared drives. This parameter will only be effective until June 1, 2020. Afterwards all applications are assumed to support shared drives.
  acknowledgeAbuse: boolean, Whether the user is acknowledging the risk of downloading known malware or other abusive files. This is only applicable when alt=media.

Returns:
  The media object as a string.

list(orderBy=None, pageSize=None, supportsTeamDrives=None, spaces=None, q=None, pageToken=None, corpus=None, teamDriveId=None, includeItemsFromAllDrives=None, includeTeamDriveItems=None, corpora=None, supportsAllDrives=None, driveId=None)

Args:
orderBy: string, A comma-separated list of sort keys. Valid keys are 'createdTime', 'folder', 'modifiedByMeTime', 'modifiedTime', 'name', 'name_natural', 'quotaBytesUsed', 'recency', 'sharedWithMeTime', 'starred', and 'viewedByMeTime'. Each key sorts ascending by default, but may be reversed with the 'desc' modifier. Example usage: ?orderBy=folder,modifiedTime desc,name. Please note that there is a current limitation for users with approximately one million files in which the requested sort order is ignored.
pageSize: integer, The maximum number of files to return per page. Partial or empty result pages are possible even before the end of the files list has been reached.
supportsTeamDrives: boolean, Deprecated use supportsAllDrives instead.
spaces: string, A comma-separated list of spaces to query within the corpus. Supported values are 'drive', 'appDataFolder' and 'photos'.
q: string, A query for filtering the file results. See the "Search for Files" guide for supported syntax.
