  • What do you mean by exposed? Do you mean shared with you? Created by you? Opened by you? Commented Mar 21, 2013 at 17:34

Goto script.google.com and start a new script and copy in the following code:

function doGet() {  
  Logger.log(DocsList.getAllFiles().length);
}

De-bug the code by pressing the "bug" button. An authorization menu will popup, that will ask permission to access Docs.

When having granted the script access to Docs, then play the script by pressing the "play" button. This might take a while, since it must read all files.

Press Ctrl + enter to view the logger (menu views/logs). Here the amount of files is displayed.

  • I tried running this script, but it doesn't show me any output. function doGet() { Logger.log(DocsList.getAllFiles().length); }
