copy drivefile not working

[Ian Crew]

Hi all:

I’m having some trouble getting “gam copy drivefile” to work. I’m trying to copy a file (a Sheet) from a folder on a shared drive to a different folder on the same shared drive.

Here’s what I get when I try:

 

$ gam user f...@example.edu copy drivefile id '1jzFuK9j_GEaKhZezlF3v6FVKGViDnc82_C6-l5-oerM' newfilename "forwards 2023-07-10" parentid 1yackmwZ6RmSoal_ndWaMUae1HJBtHPm4

User: f...@example.edu, Copy 1 Drive File/Folder

  User: f...@example.edu, Shared Drive ID: 0ANuN4K8o4cxfUk9PVA, Copy Failed: Does not exist

I’ve verified that the file I’m copying exists, and the f...@example.edu user has access to it:

$ gam user f...@example.edu show fileinfo id '1jzFuK9j_GEaKhZezlF3v6FVKGViDnc82_C6-l5-oerM' 

User: f...@example.edu, Show 1 Drive File/Folder

  Drive File: 2023-07-10 Filter forwards (1jzFuK9j_GEaKhZezlF3v6FVKGViDnc82_C6-l5-oerM)

    capabilities:

      canAddChildren: False

[lots of info shown, but not relevant here, I don’t think. The point is that this command works fine]

And also that the destination folder exists, and f...@example.edu user has access to it:

$ gam user f...@example.edu show fileinfo id 1yakcmwZ6RmSoal_ndWzMUae1HJBtHPm4 

User: f...@example.edu, Show 1 Drive File/Folder

  Drive Folder: Automated reporting (1yackmwZ6RmSoal_ndWzMUae1HJBtHPm4)

    capabilities:

      canAddChildren: True

[lots of info shown, but not relevant here, I don’t think. The point is that this command works fine]

But as you can see, the copy fails with a “Does not exist”.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Ian

Ian,

What does this show?

gam user f...@example.edu show fileinfo  id 0ANuN4K8o4cxfUk9PVA

Thanks Ross:

I get:

$ gam user f...@example.edu show fileinfo id 0ANuN4K8o4cxfUk9PVA

User: f...@example.edu, Show 1 Drive File/Folder

  User: f...@example.edu, Drive File/Folder ID: 0ANuN4K8o4cxfUk9PVA, Show Failed: Does not exist

What I don’t understand is where 0ANuN4K8o4cxfUk9PVA is coming from, as I didn’t list it in my original command….

Cheers,

Ian

Gam is trying to get information about the Shared Drive itself, but it would appear that foo is not a member of the drive.

To copy to a shared drive you have to be an organizer/manager and as a non-member gam fails trying to get the info to verify the users' role.
