update_file: Updates file in Google Drive
In trackdown: Collaborative Editing of Rmd (or Rnw) Documents in Google Drive

Description Usage Arguments Value

View source: R/files_manager.R

Replaces the content of an existing file in Google Drive with the contents of a local file. It is also possible to update (or upload if not already present) the output (pdf or html) of the file specifying the path_output argument. In case of html files, if pagedown package and Chrome are available, users can decide to upload a pdf version of the html file.

Use with caution as tracked changes in the Google Drive file will be lost!

To know more about trackdown workflow and features see trackdown-package help page.

`gfile`	character. The name of a Google Drive file (defaults to local file name).
`gpath`	character. (Sub)directory in My Drive or a shared drive (optional). By default files are uploaded in the folder "trackdown". To specify another folder the full path is required (e.g., "trackdown/my_folder"). Use `NULL` to upload directly at the root level, although it is not recommended.
`shared_drive`	character. The name of a Google Drive shared drive (optional).
`hide_code`	logical value indicating whether to remove code from the text document (chunks and header). Placeholders of type "[[chunk-<name>]]" are displayed instead.
