Request Params
| Key | Datatype | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
emailMessage | string | A plain text custom message to include in the notification email. | |
enforceSingleParent | string | Deprecated. See moveToNewOwnersRoot for details. | |
moveToNewOwnersRoot | string | This parameter will only take effect if the item is not in a shared drive and the request is attempting to transfer the ownership of the item. If set to true, the item will be moved to the new owner's My Drive root folder and all prior parents removed. If set to false, parents are not changed. | |
sendNotificationEmail | string | Whether to send a notification email when sharing to users or groups. This defaults to true for users and groups, and is not allowed for other requests. It must not be disabled for ownership transfers. | |
supportsAllDrives | string | Whether the requesting application supports both My Drives and shared drives. | |
supportsTeamDrives | string | Deprecated use supportsAllDrives instead. | |
transferOwnership | string | Whether to transfer ownership to the specified user and downgrade the current owner to a writer. This parameter is required as an acknowledgement of the side effect. File owners can only transfer ownership of files existing on My Drive. Files existing in a shared drive are owned by the organization that owns that shared drive. Ownership transfers are not supported for files and folders in shared drives. Organizers of a shared drive can move items from that shared drive into their My Drive which transfers the ownership to them. | |
