I am trying to use gam to get a list of all our shared drives and the storage size of them, but I seem to be hitting a dead end. It is frustrating because the information I am looking for is in the admin console when I go to drives and docs under apps google workspace. However I can't export it. I tried a data scraper add on but that didn't give me the size in a format I could work with. So is there a gam command I can run to report the shared drives and the storage used. I used gam report users to get the used storage used so something similar for shareddrives is what I am looking for. Thank you in advance for any help.

There is no single command, the API does not directly provide that information.
You have to run a script where GAM generates the data from listing all of the files on the Shared Drives.

Thank you Ross, that is what I was afraid of.
