Standard Query Parameters

Query parameters that apply to all Drive API operations are documented at System Parameters.

Note: Per-user quotas are always enforced by the Drive API, and the user's identity is determined from the access token passed in the request. The quotaUser and userIp parameters can only be used for anonymous requests against public files.
