gdfl

Google Drive Folder List builds a html output file of a Google Drive folder.

#NB If you have run this script before the 19/07/2019 update you will need to delete the gdfl-secrets.json file from the .credentials folder in your User\Profile directory and re-authorise the script as it is using a different scope.

This script will take an input of a Google Drive folder\Shared Drive ID or just run against the users Root if nothing specified. The script get's the folder name by ID and then builds a sorted folder structure of all the child folders and writes this structure to a html file which also contains collapsable folders and each folder is a link to the actual Google Drive folder

This script relies on you having the Google Drive API python client installed as per https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/quickstart/python: pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client google-auth-httplib2 google-auth-oauthlib
