Get webViewLink from files.get?fields=webViewLink

Known gotchas

Files created by a service account live in ITS drive and count against ITS 15GB — upload to a Shared Drive or set parents to a user-shared folder
fields param is required to get most metadata back; default response is just id/name/mimeType
permission type 'anyone' + role 'reader' makes it link-public — check org policy allows it
