sharing_get_file_metadata access error
Hello, I want to get the file sharing information (such as how is it shared, if by link or who can view the file etc.) so I'm using sharing_get_file_metadata with the admin team member id and the f...
Thank you! You are right, using as_user() method solved it.
But with sharing_get_file_metadata api I'm getting the file's policy that could be set and not the current status.
For example, I get SharedLinkPolicy('anyone', None) even though the file isn't shared with anyone.
Is there a way\api that gives the current status on a file:
e.g. is the file shared internally (within the team) or externally
by link or by invitation.
is it protected with a password
Thank you in advance.
or not shared at all.
BTW the sharing settings are off as shown in the picture, then why the policy is still:
AclUpdatePolicy('editors', None)
MemberPolicy('anyone', None)
resolvedMemberPolicy('team', None)
SharedLinkPolicy('anyone', None)
ViewerInfoPolicy('enabled', None)

Yes, that would just show the shared link policy for that folder; the effective policy for any particular sharing/link for content on a team would take into account all of the relevant policies (e.g., for the specific folder as well as the team itself).
To check for existing shared links for any specific file or folder, you would use sharing_list_shared_links. To see which accounts, if any, a file is specifically shared with, you would use sharing_list_file_members/sharing_list_file_members_continue/sharing_list_file_members_batch.
