Answer 1

In order to upload the file to the shared drive, please modify as follows.
From:
$file = $driveService->files->create($fileMetadata, array(
'data' => $content,
'mimeType' => $mimeType,
'uploadType' => 'multipart',
'fields' => 'id'
));
To:
$file = $driveService->files->create($fileMetadata, array(
'data' => $content,
'mimeType' => $mimeType,
'uploadType' => 'multipart',
'fields' => 'id',
'supportsAllDrives' => true // <--- Added
));
Note:
In this case, your client has no permission for writing the shared drive, an error occurs. Please be careful about this.
