Re: [GAM] Enable this feature in bulk in Google Drive - ‘Convert uploads to Google Docs editor format’

[Ross Scroggs]

That setting was defined in Drive API v2: https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/reference/rest/v2/files/insert

It is not defined in Drive API v3: https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/reference/rest/v3/files/create

 whcih is what GAM has used for many years.

Where do yiu see this setting in the Admin console?

Hello,

I would like to request that the 'Convert uploads to Google Docs editor format' feature be enabled in the settings page of the Google Drive service in Google Workspace for all Google Workspace users. Could you please advise on how to proceed? Could you please confirm whether this is done with Google Apps Manager and Appscript?

Regards

SemihB.

Hi

From what I was able to investigate at the moment it cannot be configured centrally in the Google Workspace admin console.

The options would be

A) Each user configures it individually in their Drive settings

B) Automate using scripts (Drive API v2)
