If you have many shared files and directories, then I suggest not using this method. I had a manageable number of such files and directories, so I made the tradeoff. the user must first be signed-in to their Google account and have previously granted consent to share their account profile with your app. The downside is that this method breaks sharing settings on files and requires resharing documents, from you to other people and from other people to you, afterwards. The method described here 1) keeps Google Docs files as Google Docs files and Microsoft Office files as Microsoft Office files, 2) correctly transfers ownership of Google Docs files from to and 3) doesn’t require altering the G Suite Legacy account by signing up for Google Workspace Business Standard. Ive done a little program in VB.NET that, basically, synchronizes a directory with Google Drive and then it obtains the sharing link and creates a shortcut file for that that uploaded file. But I was very hesitant to alter my existing G Suite Legacy account in any way until absolutely necessary.
