Return only the drive ID for a Shared Drive

[Jennifer LaPittus]

This may sound pretty basic but I'm new at GAM and trying to figure out syntax to simply return the drive ID for a Shared Drive when given the name of the Shared Drive.

Thank you,

[Ian Bevan]

If you know the name of a user who is member of the drive you could try

gam user <User> show teamdrives query "name='<DriveName>'" asadmin

[Jennifer LaPittus]

Thank you, Ian. This returns all the info for the drive but want to be able to return only the shared drive ID (going to assign it to a variable in a script I'm writing). Any additional syntax that would do this?

Jennifer,

With Advanced GAM you could do this:

$ gam info teamdrive teamdrive "TS Shared Drive 1" fields id

User: ad...@domain.com, Shared Drive: TS Shared Drive 1 (1235LiIe4dqxZUk9xyz)

  Shared Drive ID: 1235LiIe4dqxZUk9xyz

  Shared Drive Name: TS Shared Drive 1

or this:

$ gam info teamdrive teamdrive "TS Shared Drive 1" fields id formatjson

{"id": "1235LiIe4dqxZUk9xyz", "name": "TS Shared Drive 1"}

I don't know what shell or OS you're on, for *NIX with a bash shell here's what I use, it's buried in a function for ease of use.  GAM prints extraneous fields you don't ask for so a little filtering is necessary.

$> ID=$(gam print teamdrive matchname <drive name> fields id | tail +2 | gawk -F\, '{print $2;}');echo $ID

Getting all Shared Drives, may take some time on a large Google Workspace Account...
Got 42 Shared Drives...

if you're not using a bash shell I'm sure there's a PowerShell equivalent.

Just in case it helps anyone, here's some Powershell code I ended up using...

$user = Read-Host "What is the email address of the owner of the Shared Drive to be deleted?"
$folder = Read-Host "What is the name of the Shared Drive to be deleted?"
$mysplit = gam user $user print teamdrive matchname $folder fields id | %{ $_.Split(',')[1]; }
$id = $mysplit[1]
gam delete teamdrive $id
Write-Host "The Shared Drive",$folder,"with ID",$id,"was deleted successfully."

Jennifer,

Now that is clear that you're using Advanced GAM, you could do the following:

$user = Read-Host "What is the email address of the owner of the Shared Drive to be deleted?"
$folder = Read-Host "What is the name of the Shared Drive to be deleted?"

gam delete teamdrive teamdrive $folder
Write-Host "The Shared Drive ",$folder,"was deleted successfully."

<SharedDriveIDEntity> ::=

        <DriveFileItem> |

(teamdriveid <DriveFileItem>) | (teamdriveid:<DriveFileItem>)

<SharedDriveNameEntity> ::=

        (teamdrive <SharedDriveName>) | (teamdrive:<SharedDriveName>)

<SharedDriveEntity> ::=

        <SharedDriveIDEntity> |

        <SharedDriveNameEntity>

gam <UserTypeEntity> delete teamdrive <SharedDriveEntity>

You can delete by ID or name.

gam user us...@domain.com delete teamdrive <ID>

gam user us...@domain.com delete teamdrive teamdriveid <ID>

gam user us...@domain.com delete teamdrive teamdrive <Name>
