如何使用服务帐户将共享谷歌驱动器中的文件移至垃圾箱

Question

I use a service account that is content-manager. I have no problem uploading files to the shared drive using the drive-api from python. Using

service.files().list(q="name='file_name'", fields="files(id)").execute() 

I obtain the file_id from my code. This file_id is the right one based on the link to the file.

When I perform the following statement:

response = service.files().update(fileId=file_id, body={'trashed': True}).execute()

I get a

404: file not found.

How to resolve this ? With my personal account (also as content-manager) I have no problems trashing the file.

Requirements

If you clearly understand how to impersonate an account you can skip to the Solution step.

• First of all you will need a service account

• Delegate domain-wide authority

• Make sure that you are correctly calling the API

Solution

By default Python Google Drive API client V3 doesn't include shared drive files, that's why you have to explicitly pass a parameter supportsAllDrives and set it to True and before that you should list your files in order to know the fileId parameter by using includeItemsFromAllDrives and supportsAllDrives . Here's an example to list all the files in all your drives and how to trash a file in a Shared Drive using a service account:

from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from google.oauth2 import service_account

SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive']
SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE = './service_account_key.json'

credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE, scopes=SCOPES)

# Impersonate user@example.com account in my example.com domain
delegated_credentials = credentials.with_subject('user@example.com')

# Use the delegated credentials to impersonate the user
service = build('drive', 'v3', credentials=delegated_credentials)

# List all the files in your Drives (Shared Drives included)
results = service.files().list(fields="nextPageToken, files(id, name, trashed)", includeItemsFromAllDrives=True, supportsAllDrives=True).execute()
items = results.get('files', [])

if not items:
    print('No files found.')
else:
    print('Files:')
    for item in items:
        print(u'{0} ({1}) - Trashed? {2}'.format(item['name'], item['id'], item['trashed']))

# Use the filedId in order to trash your shared file
response = service.files().update(fileId=fileId, body={'trashed': True}, supportsAllDrives=True).execute()
print(response)

Otherwise if you already know the fileId just use the update part.
