Add support for working with shared items

[jstaf]

Started working on this in the shared-items branch. So far it seems like shared items are identical to normal items, with the addition of a remoteItem facet (nothing special aside from the fact that the parentReference of the remoteItem has a different drive id). Support can be handled easily with two caveats:

• We need to track the drive ID of all items and change everything to start making requests to /drives/<drive-id>/items/<item-id> instead of just /me/drive/items/<item-id>
• The remote ID of the item can change when it's moved to or from a share. So we should check for the ID changing on a rename op (or the parent drive ID changing).

I found rclone worked better for this purpose

FYI - rclone does not take into account various SharePoint oddities that modifies your file post upload - thus leaving you multiple different versions of files.

The only client that handles these oddities is the 'onedrive' client that I develop.

Yes, but I can be a bit slow at implementing things... this project was started as a for-fun project and I work on this in my spare time as life permits. If not having support for shared items is a must-have, I suggest watching this repo (it's an option on the frontpage of the repo next to the "star" button and tell it to notify you on new releases. In the meantime, @abraunegg's suggestion to use abraunegg/onedrive will serve you well if you need support for shared items.

Thank you for the quick response. Will keep a watch on this repo and will use abraunegg/onedrive until then.

I took a stab at this over the last few days and have stuff semi-working - left to do/things that need to be fixed somehow:

• Need to create some testing automation that sets up the shared folders for:
  • Personal accounts
    • Sharing files/folder from another account.
  • Business accounts
    • Sharing files/folders from another account not in org
    • Sharing files/folders from a business account in org
• What happens if an item is unshared while we are using it?
• Implement watching shared folders for changes (perhaps have a delta thread for each folder that we kill if it is unshared/deleted)
• Implement/test cross-drive moves/copies (copying from your drive to a shared folder or vice-versa). Watch for if the IDs change.
• Libreoffice once again is causing problems - it refuses to open directly shared files (directly shared in the "Shared with me" folder, not in a shared folder) except in read-only mode because it can't create a lockfile and it will also have a problem saving because it can't save files under random names and then move them to the final destination.
