    mimeType: MimeType.GOOGLE_DOCS // MimeType of Google Document
  };
  var fileBlob = DriveApp.getFileById(fileId).getBlob();
  var form = FetchApp.createFormData(); // Create form data
  form.append(
    "metadata",
    Utilities.newBlob(JSON.stringify(metadata), "application/json")
  );
  form.append("file", fileBlob);
  var url =
    "https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=multipart";
  var params = {
    method: "POST",
    headers: { Authorization: "Bearer " + ScriptApp.getOAuthToken() },

  };
  var res = FetchApp.fetch(url, params);
