Listing all shared drives from Google drive

Question

I am trying to list all shared drives from googledrive using List drive java method. this is my code.

public static void getDriveId(String folderName, String oauthToken) throws Exception {
            DriveList list ;
            String pageToken = null;
            GoogleCredential credential = new GoogleCredential(); 
            credential.setAccessToken(oauthToken);
            try {
                _driveService = new Drive.Builder(GoogleNetHttpTransport.newTrustedTransport(), JacksonFactory.getDefaultInstance(), credential).setApplicationName(appName).build();
            } catch (GeneralSecurityException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            list = _driveService.drives().list().setQ(folderName).setFields("nextPageToken, drives(id, name)")
                 .execute();
        System.out.println(list.toString());
        }

I am setting Q parameter in query where foldername= "salesDrive"

Its giving me error like

Caused by: com.google.api.client.googleapis.json.GoogleJsonResponseException: 400 Bad Request {

  "code" : 400,
  "errors" : [ {
    "domain" : "global",
    "location" : "q",
    "locationType" : "parameter",
    "message" : "Invalid Value",
    "reason" : "invalid"
  } ],
  "message" : "Invalid Value"
}

How can i set this q parameter inorder to display only specific shared drive details?

You are missing two things:

It is not enough to just provide foldername, you should specify name = 'foldername' (please keep in mind that it should the name of the shared Drive, not a folder contained in this Drive)
As mentioned in the documentation:

To search for a specific set of shared drives, set the useDomainAdminAccess parameter to true

Missing out on any of the steps above will result in an 400 error, as the one you received.

I have tried the foldername as name Contains 'Salesdrive' and name = 'Salesdrive' but its giving me invalid parameter error – Daniel Nov 09 '20 at 12:09
Did you set `useDomainAdminAccess` to `true`? https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/reference/drives/list https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/search-shareddrives – ziganotschka Nov 09 '20 at 13:03
yep added it, but still it gives me error Caused by: list = _driveService.drives().list().setQ(folderName).setUseDomainAdminAccess(true).setFields("nextPageToken, drives(id, name)") .setPageToken(pageToken).execute(); Error: com.google.api.client.googleapis.json.GoogleJsonResponseException: 400 Bad Request { "code" : 400, "errors" : [ { "domain" : "global", "location" : "q", "locationType" : "parameter", "message" : "Invalid Value", "reason" : "invalid" } ], "message" : "Invalid Value" } – Daniel Nov 09 '20 at 13:12
What about `_driveService.drives().list().setQ("fullText = 'folderName' ").setUseDomainAdminAccess(true)`? – ziganotschka Nov 09 '20 at 13:19
list = _driveService.drives().list().setQ("fullText = 'folderName' ").setUseDomainAdminAccess(true).setFields("nextPageToken, drives(id, name)") .setPageToken(pageToken).execute(); No luck its throwing same error. – Daniel Nov 09 '20 at 13:32
Do you experience the same problem when testing with the "Try this API"? – ziganotschka Nov 09 '20 at 13:35
No its working perfectly in api console, giving me error only in java method or in postman – Daniel Nov 09 '20 at 13:39
And it does it work in Java / postman if you do not set Q? – ziganotschka Nov 09 '20 at 14:13
sounds like you might have a syntax error... try to hardcode the value for `folderName` and doublecheck that you have the quotes right. – ziganotschka Nov 09 '20 at 14:45
