How to upload a SVG file to google drive to be converted to native drawing format and editable in google docs?

Question

How to programatically upload a SVG file (or any other public vector based format) to Google Drive to be stored/converted there to google drawing native format? So the uploaded file can be later open and edited directly in the google drive environment. Is it possible? When I upload a SVG file to Google Drive using web based UI, the SVG file is stored, but not converted and cannot be edited. It can be just viewed.

Solution

Are you setting the convert parameter to true when uploading the file?
