I been try to get at the bottom of a issues that i have . 

Basically we have a report of some missing file .mp4 format .  

gam ownership command shows all the file details as below : 

Owner: us...@domain.com @, id: 123344567890 , name: filename, type: mp4, ownerIsSharedDrive: False, driveId:, event: view

but when trying to copy the file its shows that the file doesn't  exits .

Dose gam show ownership command its a prove that the file still exists and can be recovered ? 

is so what command should i use to copy over to me ? 

Thank you in advance
Reagrds, 
Alex

gam print ownership <DRiveFileID> is doing the following:
gam report drive filter "doc_id==<DriveFileID>"

It displays the most recent event returned by the API.
If that event was view, then I assume that the file exists.

What does this show: gam user us...@domain.com show fileinfo <DriveFileID>

Hi Ross, 

The command : gam user us...@domain.com show fileinfo <DriveFileID>

shows :

User: us...@domain.com , Drive File/Folder ID: 1234567890, Show Failed: Does not exist

Thanks ,
Alex
