# Share a file
skillett run google-drive create_permission --fileId "abc123" --role writer --type user --emailAddress "user@example.com"

Common patterns

• File IDs: Google Drive uses opaque string IDs
• MIME types: Google Docs have special MIME types (e.g., application/vnd.google-apps.document)
• Search syntax: Uses Drive’s query syntax (name contains, mimeType=, 'folderId' in parents)
