Answer 1

You need to use parameter q with value '#{folder_id}' an parents

If the folder is in a shared drive, you need to set supports_all_drives and include_items_from_all_drives to true .

Below is my code to look for files with specified name in a specified folder in shared drive.

query = "name = '#{file_name}' and '#{FOLDER_ID}' in parents"

response = drive_service.list_files(
    q: query,
    fields: "files(id, name)",
    supports_all_drives: true,
    include_items_from_all_drives: true
)

Hope this help

Here give this a shot.

service = Google::Apis::DriveV2::DriveService.new
service.client_options.application_name = APPLICATION_NAME
service.authorization = authorize
# List the 10 most recently modified files.
response = service.list_files()
puts 'Files:'
puts 'No files found' if response.items.empty?
response.items.each do |file|
  puts "#{file.title} (#{file.id})"
end
