Google Apps Script from My Drive to Shared Drives - google-apps-script

Question

I have designed a feedback system via Google Sheets and Apps Script. It works all good on My Drive. When I moved it to a Shared Drive, the "DriveApp" didn't like the change.
Based on this very useful article that John from Google shard with me, I activated Advanced Drive Service and used the method Drive.Drives.insert allows you to specify the Drive Id.
How can I specify a folder in a shared drive with this method? Like the one we have with DriveApp (DriveApp.getFolderByID). How would you do that?

Answer 1

From How can I specify a folder in a shared drive with this method? Like the one we have with DriveApp (DriveApp.getFolderByID). How would you do that?, I guessed that you might want to retrieve the folder information. If my understanding is correct, how about the following sample script?
Sample script 1:
When you can know the folder ID of the folder in a shared Drive, you can use the following script. Before you use this, please enable Drive API at Advanced Google services.
const folderId = "###"; // Please set the folder ID in a shared Drive.
// This sample uses Drive service (DriveApp).
const folder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folderId);
const folderName1 = folder.getName();
console.log(folderName1)
// This sample uses Drive API.
const obj = Drive.Files.get(folderId, {supportsTeamDrives: true});
const folderName2 = obj.title;
console.log(folderName2)
In this sample script, the folder name of the folder is in a shared Drive using Google Apps Script. This script includes 2 patterns. Please confirm it.
In the case of DriveApp, when the file ID and folder ID are used, the files and folders in a shared Drive can be retrieved.
Sample script 2:
When you cannot know the folder ID of the folder in a shared Drive, you can use the following script.
const driveId = "###"; // Please set your Drive ID.
// This sample uses Drive service (DriveApp).
const folders = DriveApp.getFolderById(driveId).getFolders();
while (folders.hasNext()) {
const folder = folders.next();
const folderName1 = folder.getName();
console.log(folderName1)
}
// This sample uses Drive API.
const res = Drive.Files.list({ corpora: "drive", includeItemsFromAllDrives: true, supportsAllDrives: true, driveId, q: `mimeType='${MimeType.FOLDER}' and trashed=false` });
res.items.forEach(({title}) => console.log(title));
In this script, in the case of DriveApp, the folder list is retrieved from just under the top folder of the shared Drive. Please be careful about this.
In the case of Drive API, the folder list of all folders in the shared Drive is retrieved. But, this is a sample script. So, in this case, 100 folders can be retrieved. When you want to retrieve more, please set maxResults and pageToken. Please be careful about this.
Note:
These sample scripts are simple scripts. So, please modify them for your actual situation.
