Renaming Google Classroom Folder using GAM

[Elsa LAI]

Hi all,

As I know that once the Classroom Name has been reset, the corresponding Classroom Folder Name will not be changed accordingly.  Teachers may find it confusing when managing different school years' folders.

Is it possible to rename a batch of Classroom Folders during school year transition using GAM (based on the teacherFolder.id)?  I got an error while running the following Google Apps Script:

function myFunction() 

{

  var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx').setName('yyyyyyyyyyy')

}

Error 

Exception: No item with the given ID could be found. Possibly because you have not edited this item or you do not have permission to access it.

myFunction   @ Code.gs:3

Thanks for your support!

Elsa,

You can rename the Classroom Folder but you must be acting as the owner/teacher.

Sample:

$ gam print courses teacher us...@domain.com >courses.csv

Add a new column, NewName, to tscourses.csv

$ gam csv courses.csv gam user "~ownerId" update drivefile "~teacherFolder.id" newfilename "~NewName"

Hi, the command
gam user xxxxxxxx update drivefile 0B1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxFU newfilename "New Folder"
does not work.

user xxxxx is an ownerid and  0B1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxFU is the teacherFolder.id

but give the error 0B1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxFU is not a valid argument for "gam <users> update drivefile"
 

Maybe it depends on the security updates of version 6.07 or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

Federico,

You have to include id before the <DriveFileID>

gam <UserTypeEntity> update drivefile (id <DriveFileID)|(drivefilename <DriveFileName>)|(query <QueryDriveFile) [copy] [newfilename <DriveFileName>] <DriveFileUpdateAttribute>*

gam user xxxxxxxx update drivefile id 0B1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxFU newfilename "New Folder"

You must also replace the ownerId with the email.
