Apps Script : how to get shared drives properties ?

Google Workspace Developers Q&A
1

Hello,

I’m writing a script to audit our shared drives.

I use “Drive.Drives.list()” to get the drives, but I can’t find in the API how to get the “shared drives parameters”, is there a way to do it ?

→ my google is in french, i’m not sure that the words “shared drives parameters” are completely correct, i want to get parameters from the popup you get when you “right click” on a shared drive", and select the 3rd option “Parameters of the shared drive”, or something like that

Olivier

Update:

Here is my current code

function audit_MySharedDrives() {    var drives=getSharedDrives()    drives.forEach(function(d) {     console.log(d.getName())      // get drives properties ???   })  function getSharedDrives() {   //source: https://yagisanatode.com/get-a-list-of-google-shared-drives-by-id-and-name-in-google-apps-script/#Displaying_more_than_10shared_drives      let sharedDrives = Drive.Drives.list()   let sharedDrivesItems = sharedDrives.drives    // If a next page token exists then iterate through again.    while(sharedDrives.nextPageToken){     sharedDrives = Drive.Drives.list(       {         pageToken:sharedDrives.nextPageToken       }     )     sharedDrivesItems = sharedDrivesItems.concat(sharedDrives.drives)   }   return sharedDrivesItems }

I have advanced since I post my message.

On another web site I’ve found that I can add the parameter “fields=*” to the command “Drive.Drives.list()” (the API documentation is really NOT good !!!)

And now I can see data in the “restrictions” property, now I need to figure out the values.

My updated code :

function audit_MySharedDrives() {    var drives=getSharedDrives()    drives.forEach(function(d) {     console.log(d.getName())      // get drive properties 	const restrictions=d.getRestrictions()     console.log("restrictions", restrictions)  	/* 	"restrictions" contains following properties : 		sharingFoldersRequiresOrganizerPermission 		adminManagedRestrictions 		driveMembersOnly 		domainUsersOnly 		copyRequiresWriterPermission 	*/    })  function getSharedDrives() {   //source: https://yagisanatode.com/get-a-list-of-google-shared-drives-by-id-and-name-in-google-apps-script/#Displaying_more_than_10shared_drives      let sharedDrives = Drive.Drives.list(       {         fields:"*"       }   )   let sharedDrivesItems = sharedDrives.drives    // If a next page token exists then iterate through again.    while(sharedDrives.nextPageToken){     sharedDrives = Drive.Drives.list(       {         fields:"*",         pageToken:sharedDrives.nextPageToken       }     )     sharedDrivesItems = sharedDrivesItems.concat(sharedDrives.drives)   }   return sharedDrivesItems }

Hi @ogouret I have a similar implementation of what you are trying to achieve here: https://github.com/doitintl/DoiT-AdminPulse-for-Workspace/blob/main/getSharedDrives.gs.

It looks like you want to list the restrictions object and booleans from each shared drive.
