CopyResource Method

Copies a file.

Syntax

googledrive.copyResource(resourceId, newName, parentIds, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method copies the file identified by ResourceId and returns the Id of the newly created copy.

The NewName parameter defines the name of the copied file.

The ParentIds parameter should be a comma-separated list of existing folder Ids to use as parents for the copied file. If left blank, the copied file will inherit the same parents of the original.
