Support Shared Drives

[islemaster]

Feature request: Add support for shared drives. If this is available now, I wasn't able to find documentation for it.

It looks like Team Drive support was added a couple of years ago (#259). Team Drive has since been renamed to "Shared Drives." The API documentation mentions a supportsAllDrives parameter that must be passed along with various requests, which might be the new version of the supports_team_drives parameter added at the time and still extant in v3.0.3 of the gem.

Thanks!

With v3.0.5, I got shared drives to work. Currently it doesn't work because the drive ID is hard-coded to root here:

google-drive-ruby/lib/google_drive/session.rb

Line 414 in 264a000

@root_collection ||= file_by_id('root')

I monkey patched this to the following:

module GoogleDrive
  # Monkey patches google-drive-ruby to support shared drives
  class Session
    def root_collection
      @root_collection ||= file_by_id(ENV['GOOGLE_DRIVE_ID'])
    end
  end
end

Hi, I don't think monkey patching is needed, it's not documented in the README, but it is possible to upload to shared GDrive folders ("collections" as per this library's source code):

GoogleDrive::Session
  .from_service_account_key(CONFIG)
  .collection_by_url("https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/gF1dvxQfFeRcQgFOdgid0aAcM1q9i6K15")
  .upload_from_file(file)

Make sure to share to the client_email (when using a service), as documented here.
