using gam to get the storage size of a shared drive

[Jay Jabour]

I am trying to use gam to get a list of all our shared drives and the storage size of them, but I seem to be hitting a dead end.  It is frustrating because the information I am looking for is in the admin console when I go to drives and docs under apps google workspace.  However I can't export it.  I tried a data scraper add on but that didn't give me the size in a format I could work with.  So is there a gam command I can run to report the shared drives and the storage used.  I used gam report users to get the used storage used so something similar for shareddrives is what I am looking for.  Thank you in advance for any help.

There is no single command, the API does not directly provide that information.

You have to run a script where GAM generates the data from listing all of the files on the Shared Drives.

See: https://github.com/taers232c/GAM-Scripts3/blob/master/GetTeamDriveStorageInfo.py

Thank you Ross, that is what I was afraid of.
