Options

      --appId string               If this file should be bound to the lifecycle of a specific app, this is the ID of this app.  If this
                                   request is creating a folder, the specification of an app ID is not allowed.
      --connectionId string        If present, this is the DataFiles connection that the upload should occur in the context of.  If absent,
                                   the default is that the upload will occur in the context of the Personal Space DataFiles connection.  If the
                                   DataFiles connection is different from the one specified when the file or folder was last POSTed or PUT, this
                                   will result in a logical move of this file or folder into the new space.
  -f, --file string                Path to the file that should be included in the request.
      --folder                     If true, a folder will be created.  If false, a file is created.
      --folderId string            If the specified file or folder should be moved to become a a sub-item of an existing folder, this is the ID
                                   of this parent folder.  Any additional folder path that is present on the Name property will be created
                                   as a subfolder hierarchy of this folder.  If the FolderID is null, the file or folder specified in the
                                   Name property (including any folder prefix on that name), will be created in the root of the space.
  -h, --help                       help for create
      --interval int               Duration in seconds to wait between retries, at least 1 (default 1)
      --name string                Name that will be given to the file or folder.  It should be noted that the '/' character
                                   in the name indicates a 'path' separator in a logical folder hierarchy for the name.  Names that
                                   contain '/'s should be used with the assumption that a logical 'folder hierarchy' is being defined for the
                                   full pathname of that file or folder.  IE, a '/' is a significant character in the name.
  -q, --quiet                      Return only IDs from the command
      --raw                        Return original response from server without any processing
      --resumable                  Make a resumable request, recommended for large payloads.
                                   The request is split in chunks. If the request is interrupted, it can be resumed by repeating the same command. (default true)
      --retry int                  Number of retries to do before failing, max 10
      --sourceId string            If a SourceId is specified, this is the ID of the existing data file or folder whose content should be copied
                                   into the specified data file or folder.  That is, for a file instead of the file content being specified in
                                   the Data element, it is effectively copied from an existing, previously uploaded file.  For a folder, rather
                                   than the new folder being empty, it's contents are copied from an existing, previously created folder.
      --tempContentFileId string   If a TempContentFileId is specified, this is the ID of a previously uploaded temporary content file whose
                                   content should be copied into the specified data file.  That is, instead of the file content being specified
                                   in the Data element, it is effectively copied from an existing, previously uploaded file.  The expectation
                                   is that this file was previously uploaded to the temporary content service, and the ID specified here is
                                   the one returned from the temp content upload request.  This option does not apply when POSTing a folder.
