Moving all Google Drive files to folder in root

[Corey Schneer]

Hi GAM community,

This past year, we migrated our schools to one Google workspace tenant, and standardized our student accounts. For the first year, our middle school kids will enter high school keeping their email accounts. We would like for the experience to be as clean as possible for them.

I would like to move all their files/folders, maintaining the structure, to a folder in the root of their Google Drive.

How can I go about this against an OU with GAM?

Thank you all.

You can test by making a MSStudents.csv file with header primaryEmail and one or two rows of email addresses

Thank you Ross,

After this runs, It seems like the vast majority of the student files have been successfully moved, however, there are some stragglers here that remain in the root directory and don't seem to copy successfully.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can do.
