Make copy of Google Spreadsheet on google shared drives via apps script

Question

This code make a copy of the given file, gives it a new name and moves it to destination.

DriveApp.getFileById(fileId).makeCopy(fileName,fileDestination)

How can I have the same function when I have all my files on Shared Drive? I have activated the Drive API and everything works fine except the code above!

Answer 1

Try using this code instead:

function copytoMyDrive(){

  var destinationMyDriveId = "yourdestinationfolderid in my Drive";
  var sheet = "your sheet ID";
  Drive.Files.copy({title:'Copy of file',parents:[{id:destinationMyDriveId}]},sheet, {supportsAllDrives: true})
}

The title parameter is optional if you want the copied file to have a different name. After running the code you should have a copy of the file that was in your shared Drive on your specified folder in My Drive.
