We use Google Drive in our company and therefore have personal GD storage (My Drive) and company-wide GD storage via Google Shared Drives. We configured Aspose Cloud to use our company’s Google Drive for storage.
The storage setup seems to connect to My Drive, because that’s what I can see in the dashboard.
My first approach was to create a shortcut to a folder in the shared drive. However, it seems shortcuts are not recognized (at least not in the dashboard). Neither shortcuts to folders nor files work. The entries are shown with 0 byte sizes and it’s not possible to download.
Checking Google Drive API docs mentions that shared drive access is supported but needs to be explicitly handled. See: Implement shared drive support
This means we are now somehow stuck, because the files we want to process are stored on a shared drive. I would like to avoid duplicating all files we want to process to my (a user’s) private My Drive, because that will become a synchronization nightmare…
What’s the best way to deal with this situation?
