Hi all,

I'm trying to migrate a folder to a shared drive and encounter the following error:

However, when I download the list it is empty with this message:

"This move contains unmovable items. You don't have permission to view them."

Does anyone have a GAM command to find these files?

Cheers, 

Matt

Send me a Met/Zoom invitation and we'll investigate.

Try:

gam redirect csv ./FolderFiles.csv user us...@domain.com print filelist select <DriveFolderID> fields id,name,mimetype,owners.emailaddress showownedby any

Are there files owned by people outside of your domain?

Hi Ross,

Sorry for the very late reply, but I'm now experiencing this again. Any chance your offer for a Meet is still open?

Thanks,
Matt
