The drive.files.list() method will find public files. You just need to search for the public parent folder using the parent search term.

parent in ['0B1dafBJIrDNfdmJUSjBYckZseDg']

You can try using the sharedWithMe search parameter of the drive.files.list() method. See https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/search-parameters
