I am trying to get a list of files in my drive that have been orphaned. I tried using the search term is:orphaned but I just get :
Invalid argument: q (line 56, file "Code")
Does anyone know the right search term for searching orphaned drive files in apps script?
It's currently not possible to list orphaned files using the Drive API or the DriveApp method in Apps Script.
You can find the list of available search queries and terms for the Drive API here. While there is a parents file query term, this is for finding files with parents of a specific ID as shown in the files resource documentation.
You can head to Google's Issue Tracker to file a Feature Request for this though, which will let Google know that this is a desired feature of the API.

In the "activity list" of my file stored on Google drive, I see a message "File flagged as containing restricted content". I would like to write a script that goes through the activity list of all files I own, and identifies if any other files have been flagged similarly.

I looked through the the File Class documentation for Google App Script (https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/drive/file ) and did not find anything that looked like it would get Activity details of a file object
I am open to suggestions for finding activity information using Google App Scripts, or other methods if available. Please provide some context if suggesting other methods as I am only familiar with Google App Scripts.
I'm using Google Drive as a storage and decided to put one file into multiple folders (~500) in my case. I called Google Drive v2 API PUT files method to update file parents. It returns me error 400.
Does anybody know what is the addParents and removeParents limitation?
I have a google drive where am storing few google sheets. My java web application is able to search a file that is present in my own google drive using Javascript API. Is there a way to search for a specific files in other's google drive via code? i will be getting the shareable link to the google drive am supposed to search. can this be done? As far as i checked this is not possible. Also there is no where in google document that says i can search files in other's drive. Kindly someone confirm.
This is an OAuth question, not a GDrive question.
The account that the GDrive API will apply to is determined by the Access Token that it is called with. So, if you can get an Access Token for somebody else's Drive, then you can use that to search their drive. How you would get such a token will depend very much on the details of your use case and the trust relationship.
I'm using Drive REST API v2 to list the revisions of a Google Doc or Sheet, but the resulting list is incomplete. I'm not able to retrieve the same list of files available at File > Revision History. I've detected the same behaviour with Drive REST API v3.
Is anyone having the same issue? May I have to send a specific param in order to get a detailed list?
I'm looking for a way that I can programmatically get diffs of a file that is on Google Drive and information of who modified the file.
It seems that Google Drive API does not provide diffs, but they provide revisions of a file via Revisions API.
Revisions.list() method returns an URL of each revision of a file. So, it is possible to check the difference between two revisions if I download them and compare with each other.
But I cannot know who modified the file in this way. Response of Revisions.list() method returns only one editor of the file if other people are editing at the same time.
Does anyone have any idea how to get such data?
I found that I could see how & who modified a file on Google Drive.
( File -> See reision history )
Thanks
