Change owner of a form

[Carl Sundermann]

Hello:

Trying to take ownership of a google form.

Command I'm using:

gam user <email address of current owner of file who is within our domain> add drivefileacl <document id, copied from https://docs.google.com/a/<our site>/forms/d/e/ <document ID that I'm copying> /viewform> user <my email address> role owner

GAM returns:

ERROR: 404: File not found: <document ID> - notFound

I have manually looked at the user's account and verified that she is the owner of the form.  So... what might I be doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Carl,

do: gam user <currentowner> print filelist title id > cofiles.csv

Find the form of interest in the title column of cofiles.csv, get the corresponding id from the id column. Is it the same as the id as you had above? Try your command with the new id.

Thanks Ross. That worked.  The File ID was entirely different. I mistakenly thought the file ID was always found in the URL..  But I guess there's a little more research required to find the proper file ID to use in the command.

Thanks again!
