EDIT: Have now attempted to run the Tedinoz code found in forums here and am able to get filenames but only from two folders within the main folder... The two folders it's NOT reading, have several child folders. IS there a known limit to the number of child folders that can be acquired from Google App Script??
I have a script from @mesgarpour that I'm running on Google Drive to list out all assets therein. I have modified slightly to gain recursion down to the lowest file levels. But, while it runs, it is only listing the folders and subfolders AND NOT the files inside them. I am pasting the code below and would appreciate any help. AGAIN: I am looking for the script to list all files along with the other data that I'm getting.
Have attached image shows the style of folder names as well as the fact that only folders are being shown by the script.
// TODO: Set folder ID
var folderId = 'My folder ID';
// Main function 1: List all folders, & write into the current sheet.
function listFolers(){
getFolderTree(folderId, false);
};
// Main function 2: List all files & folders, & write into the current sheet.
function listAll(){
getFolderTree(folderId, true);
};
// =================
// Get Folder Tree
function getFolderTree(folderId, listAll) {
try {
// Get folder by id
var parentFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folderId);
// Initialise the sheet
var file, data, sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
sheet.clear();
sheet.appendRow(["Full Path", "Name", "Date", "URL", "Last Updated", "Description", "Size"]);
// Get files and folders
getChildFolders(parentFolder.getName(), parentFolder, data, sheet, listAll);
} catch (e) {
Logger.log(e.toString());
}
};
// Get the list of files and folders and their metadata in recursive mode
function getChildFolders(parentName, parent, data, sheet, listAll) {
var childFolders = parent.getFolders();
// List folders inside the folder
while (childFolders.hasNext()) {
var childFolder = childFolders.next();
// Logger.log("Folder Name: " + childFolder.getName());
data = [
parentName + "/" + childFolder.getName(),
childFolder.getName(),
childFolder.getDateCreated(),
childFolder.getUrl(),
childFolder.getLastUpdated(),
childFolder.getDescription(),
childFolder.getSize()
];
// Write
sheet.appendRow(data);
// List files inside the folder
var files = childFolder.getFiles();
while (listAll & files.hasNext()) {
var childFile = files.next();
// Logger.log("File Name: " + childFile.getName());
data = [
parentName + "/" + childFolder.getName() + "/" + childFile.getName(),
childFile.getName(),
childFile.getDateCreated(),
childFile.getUrl(),
childFile.getLastUpdated(),
childFile.getDescription(),
childFile.getSize()
];
// Write
sheet.appendRow(data);
}
// Recursive call of the subfolder
getChildFolders(parentName + "/" + childFolder.getName(), childFolder, data, sheet, listAll);
}
};
