Difference between canEdit and canModifyContent

Viewed 75

I'm using the Google Drive API to get data about a drive file with its fileID in order to tell if I can edit the file with the account that I set the credentials on the API.

However, I don't know which parameter should I use for this, the documentation for the API states that:

  • capabilities.canEdit: (boolean) Whether the current user can edit this file.
  • capabilities.canModifyContent: (boolean) Whether the current user can modify the content of this file

Are editing and modifying content the very same thing?
