How to update permissions in Google Drive API v3?

Question

I uploaded wav file using service account, service account created the file, service account is the owner:

metadata = {\'name\': filename, \'parents\': [Folde         


        

Answer 1

As per the documentation found here Make someone else the owner of your file

From your personal account, you can transfer the following file types:

• Google Docs
• Google Sheets
• Google Slides
• Google Forms
• Google Drawings
• Google My Maps
• Folders Tip: When you transfer ownership of a folder it transfers only the selected folder and does not include the files inside.

If google drive doesn't support transferring that file type then the service account isnt going to be able to transfer it either.

Workaround. Have the user upload the file to their account and not the service account.
