maton google-drive file update

maton google-drive file update <file-id> [flags]

Update file metadata, parents, or binary content. Pass –metadata for arbitrary JSON and –name as a shorthand. –add-parents / –remove-parents move the file (comma-separated parent IDs). –file replaces the file’s binary content; combine with –name/–metadata to update both in one request. When –file is the only thing passed, the request sends raw bytes alone and leaves existing metadata untouched. Files above 5 MiB automatically use a chunked resumable session that survives transient network errors.

--add-parents <string>

Comma-separated parent IDs to add (one of --name/--add-parents/--remove-parents/--metadata/--file)

--dry-run

Print the request that would be sent without executing it

--file <string>

Additional metadata as JSON, merged with --name (one of --name/--add-parents/--remove-parents/--metadata/--file)

--paginate
