# files_list

> List the user's files. Returns all files by default, including trashed files; add `trashed = false` to `q` to hide them. `q` is Drive's search grammar — `name contains 'Q3' and mimeType = 'application/vnd.google-apps.folder'`.

```python gdrive_files_list.py theme={null}
from charter.packs import gdrive

result = await gdrive.files_list.ainvoke({})
```

<Note>
  Requires `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive`. Pages by cursor: `nextPageToken` is sent back as `pageToken`. Costs 1 against the provider's own quota.

This method returns all files by default, including trashed files. If you don't want trashed files to appear in the list, use `trashed = false` in `q`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |

  | `corpora`                   | [Corpora](/charter/charter/packs/gdrive/files/objects#corpora) | Specifies a collection of items (files or documents) to which the query applies. Supported items include: `user`, `domain`, `drive`, `allDrives`. Prefer `user` or `drive` to `allDrives` for efficiency. By default, corpora is set to `user`. However, this can change depending on the filter set through the `q` parameter. If `driveId` is specified, corpora must be `drive`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |

Valid keys are: `createdTime` (when the file was created; avoid using this key for queries on large item collections as it might result in timeouts or other issues; for time-related sorting on large item collections, use `modifiedTime desc` instead); `folder` (the folder ID, sorted using alphabetical ordering); `modifiedByMeTime`; `modifiedTime`; `name` (alphabetical, so 1, 12, 2, 22); `name_natural` (natural sort, so 1, 2, 12, 22); `quotaBytesUsed`; `recency`; `sharedWithMeTime`; `starred`; `viewedByMeTime`. Each key sorts ascending by default, but can be reversed with the `desc` modifier. Example usage: `folder,modifiedTime desc,name`. |

Supported values are `drive` and `appDataFolder`.
