Document Creation Location

When there is no parent field on the request, the new document will be created in a default location depending on the authorizing token's scopes.

• If the token authorizing the request uses one of the document.app scopes, then the document will be created in an app-specific folder.
• If one of the document.content scopes is used, the document will be created in the user's 'My Documents folder'.
• If both types of scopes are authorized on the token, the document.content behavior will take priority and the document will be created in the user's 'My Documents' folder.
