Got a bit of a forensic question for you all:

What we're looking to do is search for all images uploaded to Drive by a specific user, then move those files to a separate password-protected folder.

Is this possible via GAM scripting?

Replace us...@domain.com with actual email address

Replace <ParentFolderID> with ID of destination folder


gam redirect csv ./ImagesVideos.csv user us...@domain.com print filelist showmimetype category image,video fields id,name,mimetype 


gam redirect stdout ./MoveImagesVideos.txt multiprocess redirect stderr stdout csv ImagesVideos.csv gam user "~Owner" update drivefile "~id" parentid <ParentFolderID>
