I have a manager who inherited a terminated employee's Google Drive. 

He found an unknown, outside individual who was given edit access to one of those files. He's asked me to track down the full history on that file (shared when, by whom, to whom, etc). 

Is that something GAM can pull for me? 

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Dale

gam config csv_output_row_filter "'doc_id:regex:<file id>'" report drive todrive (this will give full list of events that's visible from drive audit log - past 180 days)

If the share was made before 180 days, then it wouldn't show.

Brian, 

Thanks for the tip. 

I ran this twice. Each time I got the same error but at a different point:

Got 1017931 Activities...

ERROR: 503: serviceNotAvailable - The service is currently unavailable.


and


Got 2094908 Activities...

ERROR: 503: serviceNotAvailable - The service is currently unavailable.


Thoughts? 

best,
Dale

Dale,

Let Google do the filtering for you:
gam report drive filter "doc_id==<DriveFileID>"
