Bulk transfer files to shared drive

[robby-215]

If I have a list of drive file ID's that have sensitive data in them, but we want to move all of them to a shared drive for further investigation, is there any way to do that with GAM?  The owners could be all over the place, and some may be in other shared drives

If you are using advanced GAM and all the fileID's are in a single CSV file you can move the files. Assume a file named "FileIDs.csv with the IDs has a single column named id, one row per file id.

gam csv ./FileIDs.csv gam user <someuser with permissions> move drivefile ~id teamdriveparent "<name of shared drive>"

This solution will work in Standard and Advanced GAM

gam csv ./FileIDs.csv gam user ~Owner update drivefile id ~id parentid "<ID of Shared drive or Shared drive folder>"

The Owner column must be an owner/editor of the file.

There are permission issues, see: https://support.google.com/a/answer/7374057?hl=en
