The security update needs to be applied in order for the resourceKey to be useable to you.

To apply the security update:

  1. From the Admin console Home page, go to Apps and then Google Workspace and then Drive and Docs.
  2. Click Sharing settings and then Security update for files.
  3. Choose how to apply the update: -Apply the security update to all impacted files -Remove security update from all impacted files (not recommended)
  4. (Optional if applying the update) To let users remove or apply the update to files that they own or manage, check the allow box.
  5. If you made any changes, click Save.
