Creates a shared drive.

Scopes

You will need authorization for the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive scope to make a valid call.

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive. You can set the scope for this method like this: drive3 --scope <scope> drives create ...

Required Scalar Argument

• <request-id> (string)
  • Required. An ID, such as a random UUID, which uniquely identifies this user's request for idempotent creation of a shared drive. A repeated request by the same user and with the same request ID will avoid creating duplicates by attempting to create the same shared drive. If the shared drive already exists a 409 error will be returned.

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

Drive:
  background-image-file:
    id: string
    width: number
    x-coordinate: number
    y-coordinate: number
  background-image-link: string

    sharing-folders-requires-organizer-permission: boolean
  theme-id: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

• -r .background-image-file id=duo
  • The ID of an image file in Google Drive to use for the background image.
• width=0.19681975392268636
  • The width of the cropped image in the closed range of 0 to 1. This value represents the width of the cropped image divided by the width of the entire image.

• y-coordinate=0.19657477328425788

  • The Y coordinate of the upper left corner of the cropping area in the background image. This is a value in the closed range of 0 to 1. This value represents the vertical distance from the top side of the entire image to the top side of the cropping area divided by the height of the entire image.

This is a write-only field; it can only be set on requests that don't set colorRgb or backgroundImageFile.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

• The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
• The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
• You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
• You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

• -o out
  • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.
