What it does
This Add-on will search your entire Google Drive™ for all of the files that you are the 'owner' of and collate their details into a single Google Sheet™. This Sheet will contain:
- A clickable link to the file,
- The file ID,
- The type of file e.g. PDF, Google Sheet/Doc, etc,
- The date it was created,
- The date it was last updated,
- The folder path where it is stored.
Instructions
Install the Add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace™
- You must ensure you are not logged into multiple Google™ Accounts at the same time when accessing this tool. If in doubt try an incognito window.
- You can access the tool from any Google Sheet™, by clicking the 'Extensions' menu > "Search Drive for owned files" > "Start search".
- Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your email address (if you enter a different email address you will only see the files that are owned by that account and that are shared with you - so you will not get a full picture of what exists).
- The Add-on will display an animated image whilst it performs the search, after which a new Google Sheet™ (tab) will be created in your file with the results.
Payment
- This Add-on has a 14 day free trial period then requests a monthly subscription of £5 (British Pounds) to continue using it and all features. No adverts, no in-app purchases, no price increases.
- PayPal™ handles all of the payment process - I do not see or store any payment information. You do not require a PayPal™ account - there is a 'guest' checkout option.
- Enter your Google™ account email address in the box below before clicking the button so that your licence can be correctly assigned.
- The first payment should be processed within 2 hours. Please close down and re-launch the Add-on after this time.
- Licences are for named users rather than seats. For bulk adding users please use the Google Form™ at the bottom of this page to provide further details and I will get you set up (e.g. users on your domain).
- Refunds will not be given. If you wish to cancel your subscription you can either do so through your PayPal account (which will be immediate) or use the support Form (you must give at least 5 working days notice). Once cancelled your licence will be revoked.
- Use the button below to subscribe.
Privacy Policy
Who is requesting Google user data? I am an individual developer making my tools available to all that want to use them. All of the data is stored within the Google™ environment, I am the only one with access to it and it is not shared with any third parties. There are no ads and no emails generated from any of the data. No other personal/sensitive data is collected and processed by me.
What data are you requesting? This Add-on accesses your own Google Drive™ in order to be able to view your files. It only accesses this information when you are directly using the Add-on and does not transfer/store it anywhere else outside of Google™. Data it specifically handles includes:
- The Google Drive™ file: Name, ID, URL, Type (e.g. Doc or Sheet), Date created, Date last updated
- Your Google™ email address so that your licence can be assigned and account validated when you run the Add-on.
Why are you requesting Google user data? The Add-on needs access to your Google Drive™ in order to be able to read your files and collate them into a Google Sheet for you.
Data retention or deletion? Only your email address is stored and this is for the purpose of managing your trial/licence. File information is accessed whilst the Add-on runs only and is not stored anywhere. No other personal information is retained.
Data protection mechanisms for sensitive data? Beyond collecting your email address for licence purposes the Add-on does not collect or store sensitive data. There is only one Google™ account with access to your email address and any logs that are stored entirely within Google™ itself (for troubleshooting purposes) and this has 2-Step Verification enabled in addition to Google™'s own built-in security designed to detect and block threats like spam, phishing and malware. Google™ themselves encrypt data in-transit and at-rest using strong industry standards and practices.
The 'Search Drive for file owned' app's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Terms of Service
You accept all conditions on this webpage when installing the tool and will not attempt to interfere with its functionality. As an individual developer I take no responsibility for any adverse effects when using this Add-on, but I intend to make every effort to maintain it going forwards and ensure its functionality. It is your responsibility to use the tool correctly and securely.
You will not attempt to copy the Add-on.
