Future<String> createFile(
  String fileName,
  String mime, {
  List<String>? parents,
  String text = "",
}) async {
  return (await driveAPI.files.create(
    File(
      name: fileName,
      mimeType: mime,
      parents: parents,
    ),
    uploadMedia: Media(
      Stream.value(ascii.encode(text)),
      text.length,
    ),
  ))
      .id!;
}
