drive_cp: Copy a Drive file

Description

Copies an existing Drive file into a new file id.

Usage

drive_cp(file, path = NULL, name = NULL, ..., verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

file

Something that identifies the file of interest on your Google Drive. Can be a name or path, a file id or URL marked with as_id(), or a dribble.

path

Specifies target destination for the new file on Google Drive. Can be an actual path (character), a file id marked with as_id(), or a dribble. If specified as an actual path, it is best to explicitly indicate if it's a folder by including a trailing slash, since it cannot always be worked out from the context of the call. Defaults to "Copy of FILE-NAME".

name

Character, new file name if not specified as part of path. This will force path to be treated as a folder, even if it is character and lacks a trailing slash. Defaults to "Copy of FILE-NAME".

...

Named parameters to pass along to the Drive API. You can affect the metadata of the target file by specifying properties of the Files resource via .... See the "Request body" section of the Drive API docs for the associated endpoint.

verbose

Logical, indicating whether to print informative messages (default TRUE).

Value

An object of class dribble, a tibble with one row per item.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
## Create a file to copy
file <- drive_upload(drive_example("chicken.txt"), "chicken-cp.txt")

## Make a "Copy of" copy in same folder as the original
drive_cp("chicken-cp.txt")

## Make an explicitly named copy in same folder as the original
drive_cp("chicken-cp.txt", "chicken-cp-two.txt")

## Make an explicitly named copy in a different folder
folder <- drive_mkdir("new-folder")
drive_cp("chicken-cp.txt", path = folder, name = "chicken-cp-three.txt")

## Make an explicitly named copy and star it.
## The starring is an example of providing metadata via `...`.
## `starred` is not an actual argument to `drive_cp()`,
## it just gets passed through to the API.
drive_cp("chicken-cp.txt", name = "chicken-cp-starred.txt", starred = TRUE)

## Behold all of our copies!
drive_find("chicken-cp")

## Delete all of our copies and the new folder!
drive_find("chicken-cp") %>% drive_rm()
drive_rm(folder)

## upload a csv file to copy
csv_file <- drive_upload(drive_example("chicken.csv"))

## copy AND AT THE SAME TIME convert it to a Google Sheet
chicken_sheet <- drive_cp(
  csv_file,
  name = "chicken-cp",
  mime_type = drive_mime_type("spreadsheet")
)

## go see the new Sheet in the browser
## drive_browse(chicken_sheet)

## clean up
drive_rm(csv_file, chicken_sheet)
# }
