Hello,

I just recently found out about a 5 million item limit per personal Google Drive as mentioned in this article: (https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/03/google-drive-does-a-surprise-rollout-of-file-limits-locking-out-some-users/).

Is there any way in Advanced GAM to run a query to see total number of items per personal drive across all users in the tenant? I realize this will likely take a very long time if you have a high number of users, but am curious if it's possible with Advanced GAM or not? That way we could proactively reach out to some people if they are getting close to the limit.

Thanks!

Joshua Cook

Joshua,


gam config auto_batch_min 1 redirect csv ./UserFileCounts.csv multiprocess redirect stdout - multiprocess redirect stderr stdout all users print filecounts

config auto_batch_min 1 - turn on parallel processing
redirect csv ./UserFileCounts.csv multiprocess - output file
redirect stdout - multiprocess redirect stderr stdout - clean progress info
all users print filecounts - what to do
