*
*/
/**
* @param {String} folderId
*
* @returns {Array<FileInfo>} files
*/
function getFolderFiles_(folderId) {
var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folderId);
var files = folder.getFiles();
var file, result = [];
/** @type FileInfo*/
var info;
while (files.hasNext()) {
file = files.next();
info = {
