Access
An enum representing classes of users who can access a file or folder, besides any individual
users who have been explicitly given access. These properties can be accessed from DriveApp.Access.
To call an enum, you call its parent class, name, and property. For example,
DriveApp.Access.ANYONE.
// Creates a folder that anyone on the Internet can read from and write to.
// (Domain administrators can prohibit this setting for users of a Google
// Workspace domain.)
const folder = DriveApp.createFolder('Shared Folder');
folder.setSharing(DriveApp.Access.ANYONE, DriveApp.Permission.EDIT);
