Google Drive
Use gws drive to search, list, upload, download, copy, and share files and folders, plus manage shared drives, permissions, and revisions. The CLI wraps the Drive v3 API.
Prerequisites
- If this deployment is managed/hosted, the Google credential is already provisioned at sign-in — gws is installed and authenticated, so skip the setup flow below and run gws directly. Scopes are fixed at sign-in on a managed deployment: when a call fails with scope required or HTTP 401, tell the user which action needs a scope their account wasn't granted, instead of trying to set anything up. (The scope list below still describes which verb needs which scope.)
