Files
Create, update, delete, and query the files and folders contained in a user's Google Drive.
Select
The Files table supports only a subset of columns for filtering. Below is a table containing those columns with their supported operations. All filters can be connected with 'OR' or 'AND' operators.
| Column | Supported Operators |
| Name | contains, =, != |
| MIMEType | contains, =, != |
| ModifiedTime | <=, <, =, !=, >, >= |
| Trashed | =, != |
| Starred | =, != |
| ParentIds | in |
| OwnerEmail | in |
The contains operator only performs prefix matching for a name.
For example, the name "HelloWorld" would match for name contains 'Hello' but not
name contains 'World'.
SELECT * FROM [Files] WHERE ModifiedTime > '2017-01-01' OR CONTAINS(Name, 'CData')
SELECT * FROM [Files] WHERE OwnerEmail IN ('support@cdata.com') AND Starred = true
SELECT * FROM [Files] WHERE Starred = true
SELECT * FROM [Files] WHERE DriveId = '0ACkq0ZiV0yJCUk9PVA'Note: You must set the connection property SupportsAllDrives to 'true', in order to query from a specific Drive.
