drive api - write to shared folder not found - google-api

Question

I am using google drive api to write to a folder located in shared drive.
I have created a service account and service account is added to folder with permission as 'content manager'.
However, when I try to use the api to upload file, I keep getting an error stating 'folder not found'.
The same works fine when I try to create a folder onto my personal drive and add service account with 'editor' permission.
Can someone please help me if I missed something or that is as per design?
Below is sample code snippet:
google auth:
const driveauth = new google.auth.JWT(gSuiteUser, null,
JSON.parse(gSuiteKey), [
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.appdata'
])
const drive = google.drive({
version: 'v3',
auth: driveauth
});
Below is the code for uploading on google drive:
const fileMetadata = {
'name': 'Filename',
'mimeType': 'application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet',
parents: [gSuiteFolder],
convert: true
};
const media = {
mimeType: 'text/csv',
body: csvData
};
drive.files.create({
resource: fileMetadata,
media: media,
fields: 'id'
}, (err, file) => {
if (err) {
// Handle error
console.error(`Failure`);
callback(err);
} else {
console.log('Success', file.data.id);
callback(undefined, "done");
}
});

Answer 1

Turned out that we need to send additional attribute 'supportsAllDrives' as true as shown below:
drive.files.create({
resource: fileMetadata,
media: media,
supportsAllDrives: true,
fields: 'id'
}, (err, file) => {
if (err) {
// Handle error
console.error(`Failure`);
callback(err);
} else {
console.log('Success', file.data.id);
callback(undefined, "done");
}
});

I think something might be off in your deligation.
// loads credentials from .env file
require("dotenv").config();
import { google } from "googleapis";
function initializeDrive(version = "v3") {
const client_email = process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_EMAIL;
// add some necessary escaping so to avoid errors when parsing the private key.
const private_key = process.env.GOOGLE_PRIVATE_KEY.replace(/\\n/g, "\n");
// impersonate an account with rights to create team drives
const emailToImpersonate = "some-user#acme-industries.com";
const jwtClient = new google.auth.JWT(
client_email,
null, // undefined if you use TypeScript
private_key,
["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive"],
emailToImpersonate
);
return google.drive({
version: version,
auth: jwtClient
});
}
Or maybe a bit more simple
const auth = new google.auth.JWT({ // JWT instead of GoogleAuth
subject: "me#mycompany.com", // include this property
keyFile: "service-account.json",
scopes: [ ... ],
})
