drive_cp_dir: Copy a Google Drive Folder

In galacticpolymath/GPpub: Galactic Polymath Lesson Publishing Tools

Copy a Google Drive Folder

Description

Copies all files (Google Workspace or otherwise) from one destination to another. This is a workaround for the absence of this functionality in the GDrive API. It's accomplished by recursive calls to googledrive::drive_cp().

Usage

drive_cp_dir(new_dir_name, source_dir, dest_dir, share_anyone = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

new_dir_name	What's the name of the new (cloned) directory?
source_dir	Source directory; must be a string path for drive_find_path() or a dribble, e.g. from googledrive::drive_find()
dest_dir	Destination directory; if not supplied, assumes same parent as source_dir (i.e. will be cloned side-by-side)
share_anyone	do you want copied files to be viewable by anyone with the link? Default=FALSE
...	Pass other parameters to googledrive::drive_cp()

Details

Throws an error if the new_dir_name already exists in dest_dir.

Value

Dribble of the cloned folder
