Bounty: 100
I was trying to request the list of all files that located in the AppDataFolder.
When I make the following request:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files?spaces=appDataFolder&maxResults=1000 HTTP/1.1
Host: www.googleapis.com
Authorization: Bearer <MyToken>
User-Agent: <MyUserAgent>
I get the following error:
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "global",
"reason": "invalid",
"message": "Invalid query",
"locationType": "parameter",
"location": "q"
}
],
"code": 400,
"message": "Invalid query"
}
}
Why does it ask me for a query if I just want to get the list of all files? Is the “q” parameter mandatory? I thought that it was some error in my code, so I downloaded the latest Google Drive SDK for Python and got the same error.
I tried to add the “q” parameter like q=title != 'foo' but it also returned Ivalid query error. Strange thing is that I can get my files list if I add the following query: q=title='<myfolder>' or title='<file1 in my folder>' or title='<file2 in my folder>'..., but if I remove title='<myfolder>' I get query error again.
I also tried another request, but it returned me an empty list, though I know that there are files in AppDataFolder:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files?q='appfolder'+in+parents&access_token=<MyToken>
UPDATE: Looks like this issue is specific to a certain account. I tested all these requests with another account and get all the files hidden in appdatafolder. The requests that work:
https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files?spaces=appDataFolder
https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files?q='appDataFolder'+in+parents
https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files?q='appfolder'+in+parents
What can be wrong with the first account?
