Shares Resource

Use the Shares resource (shares) to share a folder and its contents with a specified user.

For information about finding users, see "Get Users" or "Get User with Email Address" under Users.

When you share folders, you control the permissions each person has for the folder and its files by assigning a role to the person. The different roles determine what a person can do with a shared file.

• Viewer: Viewers can look at files and folders but can't change things.

• Downloader: Downloaders can also download files and save them to their own computers.

• Contributor: Contributors can also modify files, update files, upload new files, and delete files.

• Manager: Managers have all the privileges of the other roles and can add or remove other people as members.
