Basic Parameters

Parameter	Description
Name	The name of this shared drive.
Request ID	An ID, such as a random UUID, which uniquely identifies this user's request for idempotent creation of a shared drive. A repeated request by the same user and with the same request ID will avoid creating duplicates by attempting to create the same shared drive. If the shared drive already exists a 409 error will be returned.

Advanced Parameters

Parameter	Description
Delegated User Override	Perform the action on behalf of another user, overriding the delegated user defined in the connection. If not specified, the delegated user is the one provided in the connection. Has no effect when using an OAuth connection. NOTE: the connection details are not edited by this input.
