PyDrive get only my files and shared with me files. Python

Question

Sorry for my english. I use pydrive for work whith google drive api. I want get list of files. I do it like this:

  return self.g_drive.ListFile({'q': 'trashed=false'}).GetList()

this return me list of files. But it list contains delete files. I think 'q': 'trashed=false' it get only exist files, not in the bucket.

How i can get only exist files and files shared with me

Could you share the reference that you are using? Blog, tutorial or documentation where you got above. — Nabin, Apr 17 '18 at 07:37

Remove the trashed=false and query to get shared files is: sharedWithMe Also there is no concept of bucket in google drive

Query to use:

{'q': 'sharedWithMe'}

EDIT

I still believe trashed=false should work

Work around:

There must be a better way but a trick is to do the following:

list_of_trash_files = drive.ListFile({'q': 'trashed=true'})
list_of_all_files = drive.ListFile({'q': ''})
final_required_list = set(list_of_all_files) - set(list_of_trash_files)

I think __{'q': ''}__ should give everything. – Nabin Apr 17 '18 at 07:55
`{'q': ''}` yes, it give everythng and trashed files too( I dont need trashed files – nesalexy Apr 17 '18 at 07:58

See the edit section, also you may be missing something as, trashed=false should be correct way. Look closely – Nabin Apr 17 '18 at 08:12
