GDrive transfer or claim ownership doesn't work on shortcuts #369

Hi,

The commands described below don't seem to handle changing the ownership of Drive Shortcuts. Can this be added? When running these commands, they just skip over the shortcuts in a folder. We have a use case where we want these shortcuts to have a new owner. The shortcuts are organized in a folder already so we'd normally use the commands to change ownership of all files within the folder. The destination of the shortcuts could be pointing to anywhere else, outside of the parent folder potentially.

Send me a Meet/Zoom invitation and I'll help investigate.

Shortcuts are owned by the owner of the folder that contains them, not by the user that created them.

Thus, if you claim ownership of a folder you own, nothing happens to the shortcuts in the folder as they are already owned by you.

If you claim ownership of a folder you don't own, then the shortcut ownership will be changed to you.
