Manage files — creates a file. for more information, see [create and manage files](/workspace/drive/api/guides/create-file). this method supports an */upload* uri and accepts uploaded media with the following characteristics: - *maximum file size:* 5,120 gb - *accepted media mime types:* `*/*` (specify a valid mime type, rather than the literal `*/*` value. the literal `*/*` is only used to indicate that any valid mime type can be uploaded. for more information, see [google workspace and google drive supported mime types](/workspace/drive/api/guides/mime-types).) for more information on uploading files, see [upload file data](/workspace/drive/api/guides/manage-uploads). apps creating shortcuts with the `create` method must specify the mime type `application/vnd.google-apps.shortcut`. apps should specify a file extension in the `name` property when inserting files with the api. for example, an operation to insert a jpeg file should specify something like `"name": "cat.jpg"` in the metadata. subsequent `get` requests include the read-only `fileextension` property populated with the extension originally specified in the `name` property. when a google drive user requests to download a file, or when the file is downloaded through the sync client, drive builds a full filename (with extension) based on the name. in cases where the extension is missing, drive attempts to determine the extension based on the file's mime type, creates a copy of a file and applies any requested updates with patch semantics. for more information, see [create and manage files](https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/guides/create-file), modifies the set of labels applied to a file. for more information, see [set a label field on a file](https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/guides/set-label). returns a list of the labels that were added or modified. Supports standard CRUD operations through the REST API.
