the drive_id and object_id returned by the connector browse API.

To ingest from a drive that is only addressable by its drive_id (for
example a OneDrive personal drive, a Microsoft 365 group drive, or any
drive in a non-discoverable site) pass an entry with
entry_type="drive_by_id" and the drive_id field set.
