Hey, it's me again. I'm currently having issues with uploading files to folders that are shared with me, instead of folders that i own. In my drive, it is okay and upload is successful but as soon as i want to upload to folder that is shared with me, it throws 404, file not found:

Invoke-RestMethod : {
  "error": {
    "code": 404,
    "message": "File not found: 13To6qyCukFwe0G9[redacted]KG9Fn.",

        "location": "fileId",
        "locationType": "parameter"
      }
    ]
  }

Hello, i noticed the same thing. When you are in your shared folder, you need to take the ID in the end of the URL https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GeOflixv5rTkMUnwMmcD and paste it here:

$uploadMetadata = @{
originalFilename = $sourceItem.Name
name = $sourceItem.Name
description = $sourceItem.VersionInfo.FileDescription
parents = @(1GeOflixv5rTkMUnwMmcD) #the id which is in the end of the url
}

Hello,
Faced the problem uploading large file >2g

The error information returned by PowerShell is: 'Exception calling "ToBase64String" with "1" argument(s): "Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown
as i understand problem caused by using 'ReadAllBytes'

Thanks a lot)
with small files this code works well
