We have Google Drive folders and team/shared drives with thousands of files and folders. Over the years they have been shared by numerous folks and thousands of folks have access to differnent files/folders at different levels.
I'm trying to find a way to dump every file/folder from a source folder along with what the permissions are for that file/folder. So, something that has a detailed report of every file/folder with permissions applied to it.
This would let someone review and see exactly who has access to what so they can make a decision on if the access needs to be removed.
For example, imagine a file/folder structure like this:
Folder A - user1, user2
Folder A.A
File A.A.1 - user3
Folder A.B
Folder A.C - group1
Folder C - group3
Folder C.A
Folder C.B - group4
File C.B.1 - user1
File C.B.2 - user2
File C.1
File C.2
A permission report for this would look like:
Item Type
Item Path
Permission Application
Permission Grant
folder
Folder A
direct
user1
folder
Folder A
direct
user2
folder
Folder A > Folder A.A
inherited
user1
folder
Folder A > Folder A.A
inherited
user2
file
Folder A > Folder A.A > File A.A.1
inherited
user1
file
Folder A > Folder A.A > File A.A.1
inherited
user2
file
Folder A > Folder A.A > File A.A.1
direct
user3
folder
Folder A > Folder A.B
inherited
user1
folder
Folder A > Folder A.B
inherited
user2
folder
Folder A > Folder A.C
inherited
user1
folder
Folder A > Folder A.C
inherited
user2
folder
Folder A > Folder A.C
direct
group1
folder
Folder C
direct
group3
folder
Folder C > Folder C.A
inherited
group3
folder
Folder C > Folder C.B
inherited
group3
folder
Folder C > Folder C.B
direct
group4
file
Folder C > Folder C.B > File C.B.1
inherited
group3
file
Folder C > Folder C.B > File C.B.1
inherited
group4
file
Folder C > Folder C.B > File C.B.1
direct
user1
file
Folder C > Folder C.B > File C.B.2
inherited
group3
file
Folder C > Folder C.B > File C.B.2
inherited
group4
file
Folder C > Folder C.B > File C.B.2
direct
user2
file
Folder C > File C.1
inherited
group3
file
Folder C > File C.2
inherited
group3
When you have tens of thousands of files and folders, it may not be obvious that group4 has access to Folder C > Folder C.B > File C.B.2. Maybe group4 should not have access to File C.B.2. If you have a report like above then you can see that group4 has access to File C.B.2 and so you know you need to remove it.
My current thought is to:
Use Drive API drive.files.list (https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/reference/files/list) to dump a list of files/folders from some root folder
Use Google's batch request API (https://developers.google.com/docs/api/how-tos/batch) to make batched calls to drive.permissions.list (https://developers.google.com/docs/api/how-tos/batch)
But this seems horribly inefficient -- especially if there are tens of thousands of files/folders.
Check out GAMADV-XTD3 - command line tool for Google Workspace administration
https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3
It has plenty of scripts, as per your requirements I would check GetTeamDriveFileACLs.py and GetSharedFiles.py but there are additional scripts that will give you insights about the permissions on personal and shred team drives.

I tried to copy folder from a source directory to destination directory in SSIS. However, it deleted all files from destination directory.
Some of the deleted files from given destination directory were found in recycle bin, others are not even in recycle bin or PC. I changed destination directory and all files from that directory were also deleted. Why did this happen and where can I find deleted files?
How can I ignore the files inside the folder but keeping the folder in mercurial?
I tried in this way but also folder is ignored.
syntax: glob
photos/*.jpg
photos/*.gif
photos/thumbs/*.jpg
photos/thumbs/*.gif
Thanks
Create an empty file named .keep in the folder and add it to your repository.
touch photos/.keep
hg add photos/.keep
This way the folder will be still tracked, even if its contents and the folder itself are in .hgignore.
We have a folder in a team drive that we need to copy to another folder in team drive. So when any changes happen in the 'master' folder it updates the slave folder. We are doing this so that if anything is accidentally deleted in the slave folder we wont lose anything. Can this be done?
I'm moving file A from directory C to directory B by hg move C B. In the directory B there's already file called A.
How can I tell to mercurial not overwrite the already existing in B file and mark the file as moved (delete the ile in C)?
Delete file A from directory C.
Tell Mercurial that you already moved the file using hg rename from the command line:
hg rename --after C/A B/A
I've version-controlled my entire project on my local machine, and now I essentially want to use Mercurial to upload all my files to my server and keep it up to date.
I have a public_html folder which is a subfolder of the project root. I only want to clone that folder into a specific folder with a different name on my server (it's called htdocs on the server, and can't be renamed).
Is this possible? How?
Yeah, you can't clone only a portion of a repository. If you want only public_html it needs to be its own repository.
