Hi, folks,

     So I've been trying to transfer ownership of a file to someone and hit this error:

"Add Failed: The action cannot be performed on an item of mime-type: application/vnd.google-apps.shortcut"

     That one's new to me. Do I have to try to chase the shortcut to the actual file?

Thanks,

     John A

John,

You can't do much to shortcuts except display and delete them. In the API they don't translate to mean the actual file.
If you do a show fileinfo on it you'll get the id of the actual file.
