[SOLVED] Disable download option for google drive file by python

Issue

Is there an option to disable a file download option over python API. I have looked for the different option under the API URL, But have not found any option.

https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v2/reference/permissions/list

But google drive web UI have an option to disable a file download.

enter image description here


Solution

This is not a permission like the others, because it applies to all users equally. Rather, this checkbox corresponds to the labels.restricted field of the File object in question:

labels.restricted boolean Whether viewers and commenters are prevented from downloading, printing, and copying this file.
