string

Output only. The final component of fullFileExtension . This is only available for files with binary content in Google Drive.
copyRequiresWriterPermission

boolean

Whether the options to copy, print, or download this file, should be disabled for readers and commenters.
md5Checksum

string

Output only. The MD5 checksum for the content of the file. This is only applicable to files with binary content in Google Drive.
contentHints

object

Additional information about the content of the file. These fields are never populated in responses.
contentHints.indexableText

string

Text to be indexed for the file to improve fullText queries. This is limited to 128KB in length and may contain HTML elements.

object

A thumbnail for the file. This will only be used if Google Drive cannot generate a standard thumbnail.

A base64-encoded string.

string

The MIME type of the file.

Google Drive attempts to automatically detect an appropriate value from uploaded content, if no value is provided. The value cannot be changed unless a new revision is uploaded.

parents[]

string

The ID of the parent folder containing the file.

A file can only have one parent folder; specifying multiple parents isn't supported.

If not specified as part of a create request, the file is placed directly in the user's My Drive folder. If not specified as part of a copy request, the file inherits any discoverable parent of the source file. files.update requests must use the addParents and removeParents parameters to modify the parents list.
shared

boolean

Output only. Whether the file has been shared. Not populated for items in shared drives.

object ( User )

Output only. The last user to modify the file. This field is only populated when the last modification was performed by a signed-in user.

boolean

Output only. Whether this file has a thumbnail. This does not indicate whether the requesting app has access to the thumbnail. To check access, look for the presence of the thumbnailLink field.
