Answer

In order to upload the file to the shared drive, please modify as follows.

From:

$file = $driveService->files->create($fileMetadata, array(
    'data' => $content,
    'mimeType' => $mimeType,
    'uploadType' => 'multipart',
    'fields' => 'id'
));

To:

$file = $driveService->files->create($fileMetadata, array(
    'data' => $content,
    'mimeType' => $mimeType,
    'uploadType' => 'multipart',
    'fields' => 'id',
    'supportsAllDrives' => true // <--- Added
));

Note:

  • In this case, your client has no permission for writing the shared drive, an error occurs. Please be careful about this.
