Error 403 trying to delete file that is shared with users from outside domain

[Gary Wertman]

Hi, all.

I am trying to remove a malicious file that was recently shared with some users in my domain from an outside account. When trying to delete the file I receive the following:

<HttpError 403 when requesting https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files/1p8Q2HW6U_xYdHgDWY2uBWPIXJUA8EpSN/trash?supportsAllDrives=true&alt=json returned "Insufficient permissions for this file". Details: "[{'domain': 'global', 'reason': 'forbidden', 'message': 'Insufficient permissions for this file', 'locationType': 'other', 'location': 'file.permissions'}]">

Is GAM capable of removing files under "shared with me"?

Thanks!

-Gary

Gary,

You can't delete a file owned by someone outside of your domain.

Ross,

the individual user can elect to "delete = remove" the file from their Shared with me view.

Is that something gam can do?

The file is still shared with them, of course, but it's now no longer visible in Shared with me.

That would be a fantastic feature, Ross!
