Retrieving Files Shared with Google Groups

[Tim Delier]

Hi all,

I’m in the process of cleaning up some older, user-created Google Groups, and I’ve encountered an issue. I’ve noticed that when I share a file with a group and then delete the group, the file’s ACL shows the group as "Deleted," but it doesn’t expand the permissions to include the individual users. As a result, those users lose access to the file.

My question is: Is there an easy way to get a list of files a group has access to using the group’s email address or ID? I searched the group but didn’t find anything that seemed to apply, so I apologize if this has been addressed already.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best,
Tim Delier

Tim,

You have to come at this from the file owner's perspective; what files have I shared to groups?

For a single user:

gam redirect csv ./GroupShares.csv user us...@domain.com print filelist fields id,name,mimetype,basicpermissions pm type group em pmfilter oneitemperrow

For all users:

gam config auto_batch_min 1 num_threads 10 redirect csv ./GroupShares.csv multiprocess redirect stdout - multiprocess redirect stderr stdout all users print filelist fields id,name,mimetype,basicpermissions pm type group em pmfilter oneitemperrow

Perfect, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, Ross!
