  <p>Once can set the "fields" parameter of an HTTP request to obtain a partial response containing only the fields explicitly requested. There are many examples on how to do this in languages like Python, but I could not find anything using the Go API. The FilesListCall type has no method that allows to do this, and I also cannot find any other way to tweak the HTTP request send by the Go API.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to do this at all, or am we condamned to transfer large amounts of unneeded data?</p>
