ODBC application

Use these SQL queries in your ODBC application data source:

List / search files from my drive

<p>Lists or searches files in the user's My Drive. Use the <code>Query</code> parameter to filter by name or other criteria (e.g. <code>name contains "ZappySys*.*"</code>).</p> 

SELECT * FROM Files
WITH(
	--Query='name contains "ZappySys*.*"',
)

List / search files from a single shared drive

<p>Lists or searches files in one shared drive. Supply <code>DriveId</code> and set <code>DriveType='drive'</code>, <code>SupportsAllDrives='true'</code>, and <code>IncludeItemsFromAllDrives='true'</code>. Optionally use <code>Query</code> to filter.</p> 

SELECT * FROM Files
WITH(
	--Query='name contains "ZappySys*.*"',
	DriveId='0AFWIggplk2z6Uk9PVA',
	DriveType='drive',
	SupportsAllDrives='true',
	IncludeItemsFromAllDrives='true'
)

List / search files from all shared drives

<p>Lists or searches files across all shared drives the user can access. Set <code>DriveType='allDrives'</code> with <code>SupportsAllDrives</code> and <code>IncludeItemsFromAllDrives</code>. Optionally use <code>Query</code> to filter.</p> 

SELECT * FROM Files
WITH(
	--Query='name contains "ZappySys*.*"',
