Google Apps for Business - Drive Permissions

Joel

HI all.
I was wondering if there is a way I can establish which users have permissions on each folder within a Google Drive business platform?

We've just started working with a company who have 50users on Google Apps (half of which are old users) and our first plan is to tidy it up and figure out permissions on each folder.

Does anyone have any tools/apps/advice on how I generate a good report/account on what files/folders are shared to which users? It would be good to present this in CSV format.

Thanks

Are you using the new central google drive "company drive"?

Otherwise it's all going to be shares of files owned by individual accounts.

Yes I believe so. We'll migrate onto File Stream but at present, they all have Google Drive installed on their computers. The admin initially gave everyone access to the 'Company Drive' folder but from there individuals added sub folders and shared out internally and externally. It looks messy so I want to find a way to capture reports for all folders and their permissions.

Yeah file stream would have been incredible at my last company. I think "Company Drive" has some weird limitations over user-owned docs on Drive still. Buyer beware.
