`PATCH /unified/file-storage/drive-items/{id}`

Resource: **DriveItems** · API: **Unified File Storage API**

## Supported integrations

Google Drive

## Path parameters

- **`id`** _(string, required)_
  The ID of the resource.

## Query parameters

- **`integrated_account_id`** _(string, required)_
  The ID of the integrated account to use for the request.
- **`truto_response_format`** _(string)_
  The format of the response. - `unified` returns the response with unified mappings applied. - `raw` returns the unprocessed, raw response from the remote API. - `normalized` applies the unified mappings and returns the data in a normalized format. - `stream` returns the response as a stream, which is ideal for transmitting large datasets, files, or binary data. Using streaming mode helps to efficiently handle large payloads or real-time data flows without requiring the entire data to be buffered in memory. - `debug` returns the final unified result alongside raw remote fetch information. The response is an envelope containing `result` (identical to unified mode output) and `debug` (with `requestUrl`, `requestOptions`, `data`, `responseHeaders`, and for list operations: `nextCursor`, `isLooping`, `isEmptyResult`, `resultCount`). `debug` is `null` for static responses or when `truto_skip_api_call=true`. Defaults to `unified`.
  Allowed: `unified`, `raw`, `normalized`, `stream`, `debug`
- **`truto_ignore_remote_data`** _(boolean)_
  Excludes the `remote_data` attribute from the response.
- **`truto_enforce_write_schema`** _(boolean)_
  Validates the request body against this method's `request_body_schema` before the request is sent to the underlying integration. When a field marked `required` is missing, Truto responds `400` with the missing field names under `truto_error_insight.missing_required_body_fields` instead of forwarding the call. Only the fields documented in `request_body_schema` are checked. A body carrying a non-empty `remote_data` object is forwarded unchecked, because `remote_data` is merged into the provider request and may already carry the required values. A field the mapping always supplies through its default body is treated as present, and a field that is only conditionally required is reported under `truto_error_insight.conditionally_required_body_fields` rather than rejected. Some integrations declare fields `required` on `update` that the provider only requires on `create`; check `meta/{method}` for the resource before enabling this on update calls. If you sent an `Idempotency-Key` and the request was rejected, use a fresh key when you retry with a corrected body: the idempotency cache is keyed on the integrated account, path and key only — it ignores the query string and the body — so reusing the key replays the rejection. Defaults to `false`, which forwards the request as-is.
- **`truto_exclude_fields`** _(array<string>)_
  Array of fields to exclude from the response.
- **`remote_query`** _(object)_
  Query parameters to pass to the underlying API without any transformations. Refer [this guide](https://truto.one/docs/api-reference/overview/querying#remote-query-parameters) to see how to structure the query parameters.
