Update Drive File
update_drive_fileDestructive
Update a Google Drive file's metadata, properties, or content in one call. Replace content by text, file path, or URL while preserving file ID and sharing.
Instructions
Updates metadata, properties, and/or content of a Google Drive file.
Providing one of content, file_path, or file_url replaces the file's
content in place. The source is uploaded with its source MIME type so the Drive
API applies the same format conversion as import_to_google_doc (markdown headings,
tables, bold, etc.) while preserving the existing file ID, sharing, comments, and
links. Metadata and content can be updated in a single call.
