• check current permissions
• change permissions (anyone with link)
• change permissions (anyone in the 🌐)
• make it easier to see
• share link
• clean up

This is a little demo to show how we may view sharing.

library('dplyr')
library('googledrive')
drive_auth("drive-token.rds")

write.table("This is a little demo", "demo.txt")
drive_upload("demo.txt", "Happy Little Demo")

## File uploaded to Google Drive: 
## demo.txt 
## As the Google text/plain named:
## Happy Little Demo

my_file <- drive_list("Happy Little Demo")$id %>%
  drive_file()

check current permissions

my_file

## File name: Happy Little Demo 
## File owner: tidyverse testdrive 
## File type: text/plain 
## Last modified: 2017-05-22 
## Access: Shared with specific people.

cool beans - it's private!

change permissions (anyone with link)

all functions that will somehow change the file will output a new file, overwrite the old file with this to avoid confusion

my_file<- my_file %>%
  drive_share(role = "reader", type = "anyone")

## The permissions for file 'Happy Little Demo' have been updated

Let's see what that did

my_file

## File name: Happy Little Demo 
## File owner: tidyverse testdrive 
## File type: text/plain 
## Last modified: 2017-05-22 
## Access: Anyone who has the link can access. No sign-in required.

Now anyone with the link can view it

change permissions (anyone in the 🌐)

my_file <- my_file %>%
  drive_share(role = "reader", type = "anyone", allowFileDiscovery = "true")

## The permissions for file 'Happy Little Demo' have been updated

Let's see what that did

my_file

## File name: Happy Little Demo 
## File owner: tidyverse testdrive 
## File type: text/plain 
## Last modified: 2017-05-22 
## Access: Anyone on the internet can find and access. No sign-in required.

make it easier to see

I've added access to the Google Drive file object

my_file$access

## [1] "Anyone on the internet can find and access. No sign-in required."

share link

you can also output a link to share

drive_share_link(my_file)

## [1] "https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0Gh-SuuA2nTNHFSM05ycjhwRVE/view?usp=drivesdk"

clean up

drive_delete(my_file)

## The file 'Happy Little Demo' has been deleted from your Google Drive
