<DriveFieldNameList> ::= "<DriveFieldName>(,<DriveFieldName>)*"

basicpermissions is equivalent to:

permissions.allowFileDiscovery,
permissions.deleted,
permissions.domain,
permissions.emailAddress,
permissions.expirationTime,
permissions.id,
permissions.role,
permissions.type

In particular, this omits these fields:

permissions.displayName,
permissions.permissionDetails,
permissions.photoLink,
permissions.teamDrivePermissionDetails

This allows you to select the essential permission fields without enumerating them. Of course, you can specify permissions to get all of the fields, enumerate the specific fields you want or specify basicpermissions and additional permission fields, e.g., permissions.displayName.

<DriveOrderByFieldName> ::=
        createddate|createdtime|

Return Codes

When a command involves a query:

  • If any files match the query, a return code of 0 is returned.
  • If no files match the query, a return code of 60 is returned.

Examples

You want to test for the existance of a Google drive folder:

$ gam user user1@domain.com show fileinfo query "name = 'Top Folder' and mimeType ='application/vnd.google-apps.folder'" id
Getting all Drive Files/Folders that match query (name = 'Top Folder' and mimeType ='application/vnd.google-apps.folder') for user1@domain.com
Got 1 Drive File/Folder that matched query (name = 'Top Folder' and mimeType ='application/vnd.google-apps.folder') for user1@domain.com...
User: user1@domain.com, Show 1 Drive File/Folder
  Drive Folder: Top Folder (1kdHaDm2XOmGKVsyBgPBugWqdE3xTwxyz)
    id: 1kdHaDm2XOmGKVsyBgPBugWqdE3xTwxyz
$ echo $?
0
$ gam user user2@domain.com show fileinfo query "name = 'Top Folder' and mimeType ='application/vnd.google-apps.folder'" id
Getting all Drive Files/Folders that match query (name = 'Top Folder' and mimeType ='application/vnd.google-apps.folder') for user2@domain.com
Got 0 Drive Files/Folders that matched query (name = 'Top Folder' and mimeType ='application/vnd.google-apps.folder') for user2@domain.com...
User: user2@domain.com, Show 0 Drive Files/Folders
$ echo $?
60

File size fields

The Drive API defines two fields that relate to file size: quotaBytesUsed and size.

quotaBytesUsed - The number of storage quota bytes used by the file.
    This includes the head revision as well as previous revisions with keepForever enabled.
size - Size in bytes of blobs and first party editor files.

Previously, GAM used the size field when totaling file sizes, it now uses the quotaBytesUsed field. The option sizefield quotabytesused|size allows you to select which field to use.

For most MIME types, the values are the same; for the following MIME types, quotabytesused is larger.

application/pdf
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document
application/zip
audio/mpeg
image/jpeg
image/png

Display file information

Display file details in indented keyword: value format. The two forms are equivalent.

gam <UserTypeEntity> show fileinfo <DriveFileEntity>
        [returnidonly]
        [filepath|fullpath] [pathdelimiter <Character>]
        [allfields|<DriveFieldName>*|(fields <DriveFieldNameList>)]
        (orderby <DriveFileOrderByFieldName> [ascending|descending])*
        [showdrivename] [showshareddrivepermissions]
        [(showlabels details|ids)|(includelabels <DriveLabelIDList>)]
        [showparentsidsaslist]
        [stripcrsfromname]
        [formatjson]
gam <UserTypeEntity> info drivefile <DriveFileEntity>
        [returnidonly]
        [filepath|fullpath] [pathdelimiter <Character>]
        [allfields|<DriveFieldName>*|(fields <DriveFieldNameList>)]
        (orderby <DriveFileOrderByFieldName> [ascending|descending])*
        [showdrivename] [showshareddrivepermissions]
        [(showlabels details|ids)|(includelabels <DriveLabelIDList>)]
        [showparentsidsaslist]
        [stripcrsfromname]
        [formatjson]

Use returnidonly to display just the file ID of the files in <DriveFileEntity>.

Use filepath to display the path(s) to the files in <DriveFileEntity>.

Use fullpath to add additional path information indicating that a file is an Orphan or Shared with me.

By default, file path components are separated by /; use pathdelimiter <Character> to use <Character> as the separator.

When allfields is specified (or no fields are specified), use showdrivename to display Shared(Team) Drive names. An additional API call is required to get each Shared(Team) Drive name; the names are cached so there is only one additional API call per Shared(Team) Drive.

When allfields is specified (or no fields are specified), use showshareddrivepermissions to display permissions for <DriveFileEntity> when it is a shared drive file/folder. In this case, the Drive API returns the permission IDs but not the permissions themselves so GAM makes an additional API call to get the permissions.

By default, when file parents are displayed, they are displayed in this form:

  parents:
    id: <DriveFileID>
      isRoot: <Boolean>
    id: <DriveFileID>
      isRoot: <Boolean>
    ...

The showparentsidsaslist option changes the output to this form:

  parentsIds: <DriveFileID> <DriveFileID> ...

There is no isRoot information displayed.

By default, no Drive Label information is displayed. Use the following options to display this information; an API call per file is required to get the information.

  • showlabels details
  labels:
    id: <DriveLabelID>
      revisionId: <Number>
    id: <DriveLabelID>
      revisionId: <Number>
  • showlabels ids
  labelsIds: <DriveLabelID> <DriveLabelID> ...

Starting in version 6.27.02, you can get Drive label information without an extra API call if you know the <DriveLabelID>s. Add labelinfo to your fields list and use includelabels <DriveLabelIDList> to specify the Drive labels.

gam user user@domain.com show fileinfo <DriveFileEntity> fields id,name,mimetype,labelinfo includelabels "mRoha85IbwCRl490E00xGLvBsSbkwIiuZ6PRNNEbbFcb"

The stripcrsfromname option strips nulls, carriage returns and linefeeds from drive file names. Use this option if you discover filenames containing these special characters; it is not common.

By default, Gam displays the information as an indented list of keys and values.

  • formatjson - Display the fields in JSON format.

Display file paths

gam <UserTypeEntity> show filepath <DriveFileEntity>
        [returnpathonly]
        (orderby <DriveFileOrderByFieldName> [ascending|descending])*
        [stripcrsfromname] [fullpath] [pathdelimiter <Character>]
gam <UserTypeEntity> print filepath <DriveFileEntity> [todrive <ToDriveAttribute>*]
        (orderby <DriveFileOrderByFieldName> [ascending|descending])*
        [stripcrsfromname] [fullpath] [pathdelimiter <Character>]
        [oneitemperrow]

Use returnpathonly to display just the file path of the files in <DriveFileEntity>.

Use fullpath to add additional path information indicating that a file is an Orphan or Shared with me.

By default, file path components are separated by /; use pathdelimiter <Character> to use <Character> as the separator.

The stripcrsfromname option strips nulls, carriage returns and linefeeds from drive file names. Use this option if you discover filenames containing these special characters; it is not common.

By default, when printing file paths, all paths for a file are displayed on the same row; use oneitemperrow to have each file path displayed on a separate row.

Select files for Display file counts, list, tree

Most GAM commands that deal with files require a <DriveFileEntity> to be specified; the command then processes those files. The filecounts, filelist and filetree commands don't process files, they just list them. They offer more powerful methods to select the files to be displayed.

File selection definitions

        <DriveFileNameEntity> |
        <DriveFileQueryEntity> |
        <DriveFileQueryShortcut> |

        <SharedDriveFileQueryEntity> |
        <FileSelector> | <CSVFileSelector> | <CSVkmdSelector> | <CSVSubkeySelector>) | <CSVDataSelector>)

File selection defaults

By default, file selection starts with a query of "'me' in owners". The sections below detail other methiods for selecting files.

File selection by query

Select a subset of files by query.

This option is not available for print|show filetree.

((query <QueryDriveFile>) | (fullquery <QueryDriveFile>) | <DriveFileQueryShortcut>) (querytime<String> <Time>)*
  • query "xxx" - and xxx is appended to the current query; you can repeat the query argument to build up a longer query.
  • fullquery "xxx" - The query is set to xxx eliminating the initial 'me' in owners.
  • <DriveFileQueryShortcut> - Predefined queries

Use the querytime<String> <Time> option to allow times, usually relative, to be substituted into the query <QueryDriveFile> option. The querytime<String> <Time> value replaces the string #querytime<String># in any queries. The characters following querytime can be any combination of lowercase letters and numbers. This is most useful in scripts where you can specify a relative date without having to change the script.

For example, query for files last modified more than 5 years ago:

querytime5years -5y query "modifiedTime<'#querytime5years#'"

File selection of Shared Drive

You can limit the selection for files on a specific Shared drive. Any query will be applied to the Shared drive.

select <SharedDriveEntity>

File selection by corpora

Select files by corpora.

This option is not available for print|show filetree.

corpora <CorporaAttribute>
  • corpora alldrives - Selects files on Shared Drives and files owned by or shared to the user.
  • corpora domain - Selects files shared to the user's domain.
  • corpora onlyteamdrives - Selects files on Shared Drives.
  • corpora user - Selects files owned by or shared to the user.

File selection by ownership

By default, files owned by the user are selected. These options update the current query with the desired ownership.

anyowner|(showownedby any|me|others)
  • showownedby me - Select files owned by the user; this is the default
  • showownedby any or anyowner - Select files accessible by the user
  • showownedby others - Select files not owned by the user

File selection by MIME type

By default, all types of files and folders are selected. You can specify a list of MIME types to display or a list of MIME types to suppress. This option updates the current query.

showmimetype [not] <MimeTypeList>
showmimetype category <MimeTypeNameList>
  • showmimetype <MimeTypeList> - Select files and folders with the specified MIME types
  • showmimetype not <MimeTypeList> - Select files and folders with MIME types other than those specified
  • showmimetype category <MimeTypeNameList> - Select files and folders with the specified MIME type categories

File selection by file size

These options would typically be used with showmimetype to select files of a particular type. This selection is performed by GAM, not the API.

  • minimumfilesize <Integer> - Limit the selection to files with content of size >= <Integer>
  • maximumfilesize <Integer> - Limit the selection to files with content of size <= <Integer>

File selection by file name pattern matching

This option allows you to limit the display to files whose name matches <RegularExpression>. The Drive API supports basic file name selection via query; this selection by pattern matching is performed by GAM. You could use a query to do broad file name matching and then fine tune it with filenamematchpattern.

filenamematchpattern <RegularExpression>

File selection by permission matching

See: Permission Matches

File selection to exclude items in the trash

This option excludes items in the trash from being selected.

excludetrashed

Display file counts

Print or show file counts by MIME type and/or file name.

gam <UserTypeEntity> print filecounts [todrive <ToDriveAttribute>*]
        [((query <QueryDriveFile>) | (fullquery <QueryDriveFile>) | <DriveFileQueryShortcut>)

        [excludetrashed]
        [showsize] [showmimetypesize]
        [summary none|only|plus] [summaryuser <String>]

By default, print filecounts displays counts of all files owned by the specified <UserTypeEntity>.

The showsize option displays the total size (in bytes) of the files counted.

The showmimetypesize' displays the total size (in bytes) of each MIME type counted.

See Select files for Display file counts, list, tree

Use the excludetrashed option to suppress counting files in the trash.

By default, file counts for individual users are displayed; the summary option offers alternatives that can display a summarization of file counts across all users specified in the command.

  • none - No summary is displayed; this is the default
  • only - Only the summary is displayed, no individual user file counts are displayed
  • plus - The summary is displayed in addition to the individual user file counts

The summaryuser <String> option replaces the default summary user Summary with <String>.

File selection starting point for Display file tree

You can specify a specific folder from which to select files.

        [select <DriveFileEntity> [selectsubquery <QueryDriveFile>]
            [depth <Number>]]
  • select <DriveFileEntity> - All files in the selected folder and below are shown.
  • selectsubquery <QueryDriveFile> - Only the files in the selected folder that match the query are shown.

The depth <Number> argument controls which files or folders within a selected folder are listed.

  • depth -1 - all files and folders in the selected folder and below are listed; this is the default.
  • depth 0 - the files or folders within a selected folder are listed, no descendants are listed.
  • depth N - the files and folders within the selected folder and those files and folders N levels below the selected folder are listed.

Choose what fields to display

By default, only the file/folder name is displayed; use the following options to display additional fields.

  • fields <FileTreeFieldNameList> - Display the selected fields.
  • delimiter <Character> - If any field has multiple values, separate them with <Character>; the default value is csv_output_field_delimiter from gam.cfg.

For fields explicitlytrashed and trashed, only True values are shown with show filetree; True and False values are shown with print filetree.

For print filetree, use the noindent option to eliminate the indentation in front of the file name.

The stripcrsfromname option strips nulls, carriage returns and linefeeds from drive file names. This option is special purpose and will not generally be used.

Examples

Show full file tree including the file id and MIME type:

gam user testuser show filetree fields id,mimetype

Show file tree starting at the folder named "Middle Folder" and 2 levels deeper

gam user testuser show filetree select drivefilename "Middle Folder" depth 2

Display file parent tree

Print the parent tree of file/folder.

gam <UserTypeEntity> print fileparenttree <DriveFileEntity> [todrive <ToDriveAttribute>*]

By default, print filelist displays all files owned by the specified <UserTypeEntity>

When allfields is specified (or no fields are specified), use showshareddrivepermissions to display permissions when shared drives are queried/selected. In this case, the Drive API returns the permission IDs but not the permissions themselves so GAM makes an additional API call per file to get the permissions.

See Select files for Display file counts, list, tree

File selection by name and entity shortcuts for Display file list

Select a subset of files by pre-defined queries.

These options define a complete query, eliminating the initial "me in owners". The <DriveFileEntityShortcut> option was added in version 5.04.00.

File selection based on permission matching

Use the following option to select a subset of files based on their permissions.

  • <PermissionMatch>* [<PermissionMatchAction>] - Use permission matching to select files

File selection starting point for Display file list

You can limit the selection for files on a specific Shared drive. Any query will be applied to the Shared drive.

select <SharedDriveEntity>

You can specify a specific folder from which to select files.

select <DriveFileEntity> [selectsubquery <QueryDriveFile>]
    [norecursion|(depth <Number>)] [showparent]

These options can be used instead of the query options to select a specific folder to display.

  • select <DriveFileEntity> - All files in the selected folder and below are shown.
    • To select the root folder of My Drive, use its <DriveFolderID> obtained by gam user <UserItem> show fileinfo root id
      • select <IDfrom Above>
    • Starting in version 6.22.14, you can select the root folder of My Drive with rootid.
      • select rootid
  • selectsubquery <QueryDriveFile> - Only the files in the selected folder that match the query are shown.

The norecursion and depth <Number> arguments control which files or folders within a selected folder are listed.

  • norecursion or norecursion true - no files and folders in the selected folder and below are listed
  • depth -1 - all files and folders in the selected folder and below are listed; this is the default.
  • depth 0 - the files or folders within the selected folder are listed, no descendants are listed.
  • depth N - the files and folders within the selected folder and those files and folders N levels below the selected folder are listed.

By default, when a folder is selected, only its contents are displayed.

  • showparent - The selected folder is also displayed.

Choose what fields to display

If no query or select is performed, use these options to get file path information:

  • filepath|fullpath - For files and folders, display the full path(s) to them starting at the root (My Drive)
  • addcsvdata <FieldName> <String> - Add additional columns of data from the command line to the output
  • addpathstojson - When this option and formatjson are specified, the path information will be included in the JSON data rather than as additional columns

When used with filepath or fullpath, showdepth will display a depth column. Files/folders directly in My Drive are at depth 0, the depth increases by 1 for each containing folder. For files with multiple parents, the maximum depth is displayed.

If a query or select is performed, use these options to get file path information:

  • filepath - For files, no path information is shown; for folders, the paths of all of its children are shown starting at the selected folder
  • fullpath - For files and folders, display the full path(s) to them starting at the root (My Drive or Shared Drive)
  • addpathstojson - When this option and formatjson are specified, the path information will be included in the JSON data rather than as additional columns

By default, file path components are separated by /; use pathdelimiter <Character> to use <Character> as the separator.

By default, only the fields id and webViewLink are displayed.

  • allfields - Display all file fields
  • <DriveFieldName>* - Select individual fields for display
  • fields <DriveFieldNameList> - Select a list of fields for display
  • orderby <DriveFileOrderByFieldName> [ascending|descending])* - Select the order in which the files are displayed
  • delimiter <Character> - Specifiy the <Character> to separate items in the fields: parentsIds, permissionIds, spaces; the default value is csv_output_field_delimiter from gam.cfg.

When allfields is specified, use showdrivename to display Shared(Team) Drive names. An additional API call is required to get each Shared(Team) Drive name; the names are cached so there is only one additional API call per Shared(Team) Drive.

By default, when file parents are displayed, the columns displayed are:

...,parents,parents.0.id`,parents.0.isRoot,parents.1.id,parents.1.isRoot,...

The parents column indicates the number of parents a file has and there are discrete entries for each parent.

The showparentsidsaslist option changes the output to be only two columns:

...,parents,parentsIds,...

The parents column indicates the number of parents a file has and the parentsIds column is a list of the parent IDs separated by delimiter <Character>; the default value is csv_output_field_delimiter from gam.cfg. There is no isRoot information displayed. This option allows you to reference all of a files parents with addparents <DriveFolderIDList> or removeparents <DriveFolderIDList> wn updating a file.

By default, no Drive Label information is displayed. Use the following options to display this information; an API call per file is required to get the information.

  • showlabels details The columns displayed are:
...labels,labels.0.id,labels.0.revisionId,labels.1.id,labels.1.revisionId,...

The labels column indicates the number of drive labels a file has and there are discrete entries for each label.

  • showlabels ids
...labels,labelsIds,...

The labels column indicates the number of drive labels a file has and the labelsIds column is a list of the drive label IDs separated by delimiter <Character>; the default value is csv_output_field_delimiter from gam.cfg.

By default, all ACLS are displayed; use the following option in conjunction with <PermissionMatch>* [<PermissionMatchAction>] to select a subset of files based on their permissions and to display only those permissions.

  • pmfilter - Use permission matching to display a subset of the ACLs for each file

By default, all ACLs are displayed sorted with the other fields, the showpermissionslast option causes GAM to display all permissions fields as the right-most columns in the CSV file. This option does not apply when formatjson is specified.

By default, all ACLs are displayed with the other file fields on a single row.

  • oneitemperrow - Display each of a files ACls on a separate row with all of the other file fields. This produces a CSV file that can be used in subsequent commands without further script processing.

The countsonly option doesn't display any indididual file data, it lists the total number of files that the user can access and the mumber of files by MIME type.

The countsonly suboption summary none|only|plus specifies display of a summarization of file counts across all users specified in the command.

  • none - No summary is displayed; this is the default
  • only - Only the summary is displayed, no individual user file counts are displayed
  • plus - The summary is displayed in addition to the individual user file counts

The summaryuser <String> option replaces the default summary user Summary with <String>.

The countsonly suboption showsource adds additional columns Source and Name that identify the top level folder ID and Name from which the counts are derived.

The countsonly suboption showsize adds an additional column Size that indicates the total size (in bytes) of the files represented on the row.

The countsonly suboption showmimetypesize adds additional columns <MimeType>:Size that indicate the total size (in bytes) of each MIME type.

By default, when countsonly is specified, GAM applies config csv_output_row_filter to the file details to select which files are counted. Use the countsrowfilter option to have GAM to apply config csv_output_row_filter to the file counts rather than the file details.

The stripcrsfromname option strips nulls, carriage returns and linefeeds from drive file names. This option is special purpose and will not generally be used.

By default, Gam displays the information as columns of fields; the following option causes the output to be in JSON format,

  • formatjson - Display the fields in JSON format.

By default, when writing CSV files, Gam uses a quote character of double quote ". The quote character is used to enclose columns that contain the quote character itself, the column delimiter (comma by default) and new-line characters. Any quote characters within the column are doubled. When using the formatjson option, double quotes are used extensively in the data resulting in hard to read/process output. The quotechar <Character> option allows you to choose an alternate quote character, single quote for instance, that makes for readable/processable output. quotechar defaults to gam.cfg/csv_output_quote_char. When uploading CSV files to Google, double quote " should be used.

File selection with a particular drive label

The Drive API doesn't support querying for a drive label, so GAM must do the filtering.

Get the label id.

gam show drivelabels

Find the label with properties:title: XXX where XXX is the desired label title, then get its id: value

List the files.

gam config csv_output_row_filter "labelInfo.labels.0.id:regex:PutLabelIdHere" user user@domain.com print filelist fields id,name,labelinfo includelabels PutLabelIdHere

Adjust the fields list as desired.

Handle empty file lists

When you execute a gam print filelist command with a query or permission match, there may be no files output; in this case, there is only a header row: Owner. Subsequent gam commands to process the file will fail.

$ gam redirect csv ./Files.csv user user@domain.com print filelist query "name contains 'abcd'" fields id,name
Getting all Drive Files/Folders that match query ('me' in owners and name contains 'abcd') for user@domain.com
Got 0 Drive Files/Folders that matched query ('me' in owners and name contains 'abcd') for user@domain.com...
$ more Files.csv
Owner
$ gam csv Files.csv gam user ~Owner show fileinfo ~id permissions
Command: /Users/admin/bin/gam csv Files.csv gam user ~Owner show fileinfo >>>~id<<< permissions

ERROR: Header "id" not found in CSV headers of "Owner".
Help: Syntax in file /Users/admin/bin/gam/GamCommands.txt
Help: Documentation is at https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3/wiki

Now, the fields you select will be output on the header row and the subsequent command will not fail.

$ gam redirect csv ./Files.csv user user@domain.com print filelist query "name contains 'abcd'" fields id,name
Getting all Drive Files/Folders that match query ('me' in owners and name contains 'abcd') for user@domain.com
Got 0 Drive Files/Folders that matched query ('me' in owners and name contains 'abcd') for user@domain.com...
$ more Files.csv
Owner,id,name
$ gam csv Files.csv gam user ~Owner show fileinfo ~id permissions
$

If you specify allfields, a predefined set of headers are output.

$ gam redirect csv ./Files.csv user user@domain.com print filelist query "name contains 'abcd'" allfields
Getting all Drive Files/Folders that match query ('me' in owners and name contains 'abcd') for user@domain.com
Got 0 Drive Files/Folders that matched query ('me' in owners and name contains 'abcd') for user@domain.com...
$ more Files.csv

You can also specify the headers you want in the case that there are no files selected; your script could test for this value.

$ gam redirect csv ./Files.csv user user@domain.com print filelist query "name contains 'abcd'" allfields nodataheaders "BadNews-NoData"

Display disk usage

gam <UserTypeEntity> print diskusage <DriveFileEntity> [todrive <ToDriveAttribute>*]
        [anyowner|(showownedby any|me|others)]
        [sizefield quotabytesused|size]
        [pathdelimiter <Character>] [excludetrashed] [stripcrsfromname]
        (addcsvdata <FieldName> <String>)*
        [noprogress] [show all|summary|summaryandtrash]

For each folder in <DriveFileEntity>, the following items are displayed:

  • User - The email address of the user in <UserTypeEntity>
  • Owner - The email address of the owner of the folder; omitted when displaying disk usage on Shared Drives
  • ownedByMe - True if the folder is owned by User, False otherwise; omitted when displaying disk usage on Shared Drives
  • id - The folder ID
  • name - The Folder name
  • trashed - True if the folder has been trashed, either explicitly or from a trashed parent folder, False otherwise
  • explicitlyTrashed - True if the folder has been explicitly trashed, as opposed to recursively trashed from a parent folder, False otherwise
  • directFileCount - The number of files directly in the folder
  • directFileSize - The sum of the sizes of the files directly in the folder
  • directFolderCount - The number of folders directly in the folder
  • totalFileCount - The number of files directly in the folder and all of its subfolders
  • totalFileSize - The sum of the sizes of the files directly in the folder and all of its subfolders
  • totalFolderCount - The number of folders directly in the folder and all of its subfolders
  • depth - The depth of the folder
    • -1 - The top level folder
    • 0 - Immediate children of the top level folder
    • 1 - Immediate children of level 0 folders
  • path - The path of the folder

There is a final row detailing files and folders in the trash; it is omitted if excludetrashed or show summary are specified.

  • User - The email address of the user in <UserTypeEntity>
  • Owner - The email address of the user in <UserTypeEntity>
  • ownedByMe - True
  • id - Trash
  • name - Trash
  • trashed - True if there are any items in the trash
  • explicitlyTrashed - True if any items have been explicitly trashed
  • directFileCount - The number of explicitly trashed files
  • directFileSize - The sum of the sizes of the explicitly trashed files
  • directFolderCount - The number of explicitly trashed folders
  • totalFileCount - The number of files in the trash
  • totalFileSize - The sum of the sizes of the files in the trash
  • totalFolderCount - The number of folders in the trash
  • depth - Always -1
  • path - Trash

GAM version 6.71.17 added the depth column that can be used to filter the depth of the folders displayed. Depth -1 is the top level folder, depth 0 are its immediate children, depth 2 are the children of depth 1 and so forth. For example to limit the display to the top folder and its immediate children, use config csv_output_row_filter depth:count<1.

By default, files owned by the user are counted. These options update the current query with the desired ownership.

  • showownedby me - Count files owned by the user; this is the default
  • showownedby any or anyowner - Count files accessible by the user
  • showownedby others - Count files not owned by the user

All folders are counted, regardless of ownership.

By default, file path components are separated by /; use pathdelimiter <Character> to use <Character> as the separator.

Use the excludetrashed option to suppress counting files and folders in the trash.

The stripcrsfromname option strips nulls, carriage returns and linefeeds from drive file names. Use this option if you discover filenames containing these special characters; it is not common.

Add additional columns of data from the command line to the output:

  • addcsvdata <FieldName> <String>

By default, progress messages are displayed for each folder, use noprogress to suppress these messages.

Use the show option to control the display of data:

  • show all - Display a row for every folder in <DriveFileEntity> and a row detailing items in the trash when excludetrashed is omitted. This is the default.
  • show summary - Display a single row for the first folder in <DriveFileEntity>
  • show summaryandtrash - Display a single row for the first folder in <DriveFileEntity> and a row detailing items in the trash when excludetrashed is omitted.
