Moving shared drives to another shared drive

[Michael Barth]

Following this thread:

https://groups.google.com/g/google-apps-manager/c/27Fj9p1PwXE

I'm attempting to move a shared drive by using the "update drivefile" command and changing its parent. quick example for clarity:

2 shared drives:

Team X Shared Drive (ID: x123)

Building Y Shared Drive (ID: y987)

gam user drivemanager update drivefile x123 teamdriveparentid y987

in doing this, i'm getting the error:

Update Failed: This file is never writable

user "drivemanager" is a manager of both drives. running

gam user drivemanager copy drivefile x123 teamdriveparentid y987 recursive

copies the files successfully, but i can't update the parentID. Am I misunderstanding the way that the parentid works? or am i not able to move a shared drive into a shared drive like i'm trying to do? maybe i can only move it to a different OU?

Michael,

You can't change the parentId of a shared drive, you can move it's contents to another shared drive.

See: https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3/wiki/Users-Drive-Copy-Move#move-content-of-a-shared-drive-to-another-shared-drive
