How do I search for all files that a particular user has access to?

[omi]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to get the ID of all files that a particular user has access to.

This is a way to retrieve only the list of files owned by the user in question.

gam redirect csv ./files.csv user <User Email Address> print filelist fields id,title,permissions,owners.emailaddress todrive

I have tried the following command but it just generates an empty list.

gam user <User Email Address> print filelist fullquery "sharedWithMe=True" showownedby others allfields todrive

thank you for your input,

[Ross Scroggs]

Try this:

gam user <User Email Address> print filelist showownedby others allfields todrive

Thank you Ross

Are the commands you have presented valid even if I am only a group member and have not been granted direct permissions?

Unfortunately, it seems that accounts nested in a group cannot retrieve files that are shared by the parent group.

Best

Hey Gentlepeople,

I need to perform a similar task, but when I try Ross's suggested command (gam user <User Email Address> print filelist showownedby others allfields todrive) I'm getting an error:

ERROR: showownedby is not a valid argument for "gam <users> show filelist"

Is this an argument only supported by Advanced GAM? Or am I doing something else wrong?

[Ross Scroggs]

With Standard GAM do this:

gam user <User Email Address> print filelist fullquery "not 'me' in owners" allfields todrive

Thanks Ross. That did something. 

I now get:

Getting files for test...@domain.com...
Got 33 Files for test...@domain.com...
Temporary error: internalError, Backing off: 16 seconds, Retry: 4/10
Temporary error: internalError, Backing off: 32 seconds, Retry: 5/10
Temporary error: internalError, Backing off: 60 seconds, Retry: 6/10
Temporary error: internalError, Backing off: 60 seconds, Retry: 7/10

Any ideas?

I'm installing Advanced GAM now and I'll try to see if that works...

For anyone's future reference. This "Temporary error: internalError," was caused by me simply not having given file creation rights to the Drive owner where the output was going. (Drive and Docs > Features and Applications > Creating new files on Drive > Allow users to create and upload any file). I had not ever used "todrive" to output results before :) 

Thanks to Ross for setting me on the right path!
