Question

After creating a new spreadsheet and using addToFolder() the My Drive label remains. Can we remove it? Couldn’t retrieve a folder id for the My Drive root to use with removeFromFolder().

If not, I know we start from within a certain folder and use:

var folder = DocsList.getFolderById(id);
folder.createFile();

…but how do you do convert the file created to a spreadsheet?

Answer 1

the ‘my Drive’ folder is the “root folder”, try like this:

function removeFromRoot(){
folder=DocsList.getFolderById(id);
var file=DocsList.getFileById('fileID'); // or createFile...
file.addToFolder(folder);
file.removeFromFolder(DocsList.getRootFolder());
}
