I've seen a few questions about this but none cover my scenario.
Basically what I want is to use tokens to do paging and also list all folders and files in the root folder including shared files and folders.
This appears to be working, but once I add orderBy it doesn't work well. It works ok with sorting if I remove or sharedWithMe = true but once I add it it like the shared items aren't sorted.
What am I doing wrong?
This is my code (Kotlin and on Android):
val response =
gDriveClient.files()
.list()
.setSpaces("drive")
.setCorpora("user")
.setFields("files(id, name, size, modifiedTime, mimeType, parents, quotaBytesUsed),nextPageToken")
.setQ("('root' in parents or sharedWithMe = true) and trashed = false")
.setOrderBy("folder,name")
.setPageSize(params.loadSize)
.setPageToken(token)
Unfortunately, the behaviour you are experiencing seems to be a bug as your query and request is formatted correctly and necessary to obtain exactly what you were looking for. I have reported this behaviour here : https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/174476354 . Please consider starring the report to indicate that this is also affecting you.
A possible workaround to this would be to order and filter your response after the request has been executed which unfortunately will not let you perform the request with pagination for your specific purpose (as for ordering everything you would need all the files).
