Google Docs Sharing History

[Housley, Adam]

Dear All,

I have a student who claims to have shared documents, but his teachers are not seeing the documents, and thus he has four zeros. Now mom and dad are involved. Is there a way to track when and what was shared both for the administrator and the individual doing the sharing? Thanks for you help and insight.

Sincerely,
Adam Housley

I hope this helps, I ran across it the other day when I was looking for API's.  Google Apps Manager (GAM) has the ability to access the Audit API.  This allows you to pull changes created by a user.  I haven't used it myself, so I can't vouch for it, but it sounds like it might be what you need.  A summary of the command I feel would be useful plus the link is below.  You will have to install GPG before using the audit commands though.  

User Account Activity

Request an Account's Activity

gam audit activity request <user>

request the account activity of the given user. Requests can take several hours/days to be completed by Google's servers. GAM will print out a request ID which can be used to monitor the progress of the request (see Retrieving Request Status below). Note that before requesting an account's activity, a GPG key should be uploaded to Google Servers. See Using GPG with Audits for more details on GPG keys. Failure to upload a key will result in the activity request always getting a status of ERROR.

This example creates a request for the user's activity

gam audit activity request jsmith

Let me know if this works for you.  I am very interested to know if it works or anybody has ever used it.  I hope I never have to personally.

The audit api also allows for exporting a user's mailbox including all emails sent, received, and deleted since account creation (or specified time frame).  Takes some time for the export to complete (about a day), but it works.
