## Editing a Storage Space
The OData specification allows for a mirage of ways of addressing an entity. We will support addressing a Drive entity by its unique identifier, which is the one the graph-api returns when listing spaces, and its format is:
```json
{
"id": "1284d238-aa92-42ce-bdc4-0b0000009157!b6e2c9cc-9dbe-42f0-b522-4f2d3e175e9c"
}
```
This is an extract of an element of the list spaces response. An entire object has the following shape:
```json
{
"driveType": "project",
"id": "1284d238-aa92-42ce-bdc4-0b0000009157!b6e2c9cc-9dbe-42f0-b522-4f2d3e175e9c",
"lastModifiedDateTime": "2021-10-07T11:06:43.245418+02:00",
"name": "marketing",
"owner": {
"user": {
"id": "ddc2004c-0977-11eb-9d3f-a793888cd0f8"
}
},
"quota": {
"total": 65536
},
"root": {
"id": "1284d238-aa92-42ce-bdc4-0b0000009157!b6e2c9cc-9dbe-42f0-b522-4f2d3e175e9c",
"webDavUrl": "https://localhost:9200/dav/spaces/1284d238-aa92-42ce-bdc4-0b0000009157!b6e2c9cc-9dbe-42f0-b522-4f2d3e175e9c"
}
}
```
### Updating a space property
Having introduced the above, one can refer to a Drive with the following URL format:
```console
'https://localhost:9200/graph/v1.0/Drive(1284d238-aa92-42ce-bdc4-0b0000009157!07c26b3a-9944-4f2b-ab33-b0b326fc7570")
```
Udating an entity attribute:
```console
curl -X PATCH 'https://localhost:9200/graph/v1.0/Drive("1284d238-aa92-42ce-bdc4-0b0000009157!07c26b3a-9944-4f2b-ab33-b0b326fc7570)' -d '{"name":"42"}' -v
```
The previous URL resource path segment (`Drive(1284d238-aa92-42ce-bdc4-0b0000009157!07c26b3a-9944-4f2b-ab33-b0b326fc7570)`) is parsed and handed over to the storage registry in order to apply the patch changes in the body, in this case update the space name attribute to `42`. Since space names are not unique we only support addressing them by their unique identifiers, any other query would render too ambiguous and explode in complexity.
### Updating a space description
Since every space is the root of a webdav directory, following some conventions we can make use of this to set a default storage description and image. In order to do so, every space is created with a hidden `.space` folder at its root, which can be used to store such data.
```curl
curl -k -X PUT https://localhost:9200/dav/spaces/1284d238-aa92-42ce-bdc4-0b0000009157\!07c26b3a-9944-4f2b-ab33-b0b326fc7570/.space/description.md -d "Add a description to your spaces" -u admin:admin
```
Verify the description was updated:
```curl
curl -k https://localhost:9200/dav/spaces/1284d238-aa92-42ce-bdc4-0b0000009157\!07c26b3a-9944-4f2b-ab33-b0b326fc7570/.space/description.md -u admin:admin
Add a description to your spaces
```
This feature makes use of the internal storage layout and is completely abstracted from the end user.
