Question

I am using DrEdit PHP sdk library. Using their own output editor I am trying to create a file with mimetype application/vnd.google-apps.kix

It says it saved but when I try to open it from the Drive itself it returns an error:

Sorry, the page (or document) you have requested does not exist.
Make sure that you have the correct URL and that the owner of the document hasn’t deleted it.

I kept DrEdits’ own config apart from ClientId, Secret etc. and changed the mime/type.

Anyone can tell me what the problem can be please?

Thanks

This MIME-type is used by Google Documents (word processor).

Unfortunately you can’t create Google native documents directly using the Google Drive SDK.
The only way to create a native Google document is to upload a document of one of the supported import formats (PDF, Word, RTF…) and to set the convert URL parameter to true this will convert the document into one of the native Google Docs formats.
