R Documentation

Update an existing Drive file

Description

Update an existing Drive file id with new content ("media" in Drive API-speak), new metadata, or both. To create a new file or update existing, depending on whether the Drive file already exists, see drive_put().

Usage

drive_update(file, media = NULL, ..., verbose = deprecated())

Arguments

`file`	Something that identifies the file of interest on your Google Drive. Can be a name or path, a file id or URL marked with `as_id()`, or a `dribble`.
`media`	Character, path to the local file to upload.
`...`	Named parameters to pass along to the Drive API. Has dynamic dots semantics. You can affect the metadata of the target file by specifying properties of the Files resource via `...`. Read the "Request body" section of the Drive API docs for the associated endpoint to learn about relevant parameters.
`verbose`	This logical argument to individual googledrive functions is deprecated. To globally suppress googledrive messaging, use `options(googledrive_quiet = TRUE)` (the default behaviour is to emit informational messages). To suppress messaging in a more limited way, use the helpers `local_drive_quiet()` or `with_drive_quiet()`.

Value

An object of class dribble, a tibble with one row per file.

Examples


# Create a new file, so we can update it
x <- drive_example_remote("chicken.csv") %>%
  drive_cp()

# Update the file with new media
x <- x %>%
  drive_update(drive_example_local("chicken.txt"))

# Update the file with new metadata.
# Notice here `name` is not an argument of `drive_update()`, we are passing
# this to the API via the `...``
x <- x %>%
  drive_update(name = "CHICKENS!")

# Update the file with new media AND new metadata
x <- x %>%
  drive_update(
    drive_example_local("chicken.txt"),
    name = "chicken-poem-again.txt"
  )

# Clean up
drive_rm(x)
