“Shared Drive” support in Google Apps Script

问题

I am writing a JavaScript tool in Google Apps Script to check some properties of documents, like "are all links valid", "are permissions set correctly", and so on. I am using the API documented in https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/drive/drive-app to look up files by ID, check their permissions, locate them in Google Drive etc., but I found that "Shared Drives" don't work very nicely with that API.

For example,

for the root folder of a Shared Drive, Folder.getName() only returns "Drive" rather than the Drive's name,
even though mygroup@domain.com is a "Manager" of the Shared Drive, folder.getAccess('mygroup@domain.com') is NONE and folder.getViewers() is empty,
some folders in Shared Drives are not (always) included in the DriveApp.getFolders() iterator.

In particular the second point is a blocker for me now, but what am I missing here? Is there some other API I should be using, or is it simply a bug that I should report? Is there some documentation of what functionality of the Drive API I can and cannot use with Shared Drives?

回答1:

Use the Advanced Drive Service instead of `DriveApp`

Indeed, shared drives are not supported by DriveApp which has a limited scope
But if you enable the Advanced Drive Service, yuo will be able to use in Apps Script all methods of the Drive API v2 which support shared drives

Sample:

function myFunction() {
  var sharedDriveName = Drive.Drives.get("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX").name;
  //it is important to specify that the folder is located on a shared drive with {"supportsAllDrives": true}
  var folderOnDriveName = Drive.Files.get("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",{"supportsAllDrives": true}).title;
  var folderPermissions = Drive.Permissions.list("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",{"supportsAllDrives": true});
}
