Google-drive – How do make regular backups of a shared Google folder

This script will get you pretty close to that goal. Here's an example of the output.

It's set up currently to run on a particular folder and subfolders but you could modify it to run on the entire drive (depending on the number of files it might time out).

1. Open a new spreadsheet.
2. Got to Tools>Script Editor
3. Copy and paste the script below into that window replacing everything
4. Put your folder ID in place of THE_FOLDER_ID
5. Save it.
6. Run the script by hitting the play (Run) button

7. Go see what it wrote on the spreadsheet and sort however you'd like.

   function listFolders(folder) {
   var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
   sheet.appendRow(["Name", "Sharing Access", "Sharing Permission", "Get Editors", "Get Viewers", "Date", "Size", "URL", "Download", "Description", "Type"]); //writes the headers
   var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById("THE_FOLDER_ID");//that long chunk of random numbers/letters in the URL when you navigate to the folder
   
   var files = folder.getFiles();//initial loop on loose files w/in the folder
   
    var cnt = 0;
    var file;
   
    while (files.hasNext()) {
        var file = files.next();
        var listEditors = file.getEditors(); //gets the editor email(s), doesn't show your own as it's assumed
        var editors = [];
        for (var cnt = 0; cnt < listEditors.length; cnt++) {
            editors.push(listEditors[cnt].getEmail());
            Logger.log(editors);
        };
        var listViewers = file.getViewers(); //gets the viewer email(s)
        var viewers = [];
        for (var cnt = 0; cnt < listViewers.length; cnt++) {
            viewers.push(listViewers[cnt].getEmail());
            Logger.log(viewers);
        }
        cnt++;  //data chunk pushes all the file info to the ss
   
        data = [
            file.getName(),
            file.getSharingAccess(),
            file.getSharingPermission(),
            editors.toString(),
            viewers.toString(),
            file.getDateCreated(),
            file.getSize(),
            file.getUrl(),
            "https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=no_antivirus&id=" + file.getId(),
            file.getDescription(),
            file.getMimeType(),
        ];
   
        sheet.appendRow(data);
   
    };
   
   
    var subfolders = folder.getFolders(); //same thing as above but for all the subfolders in the folder
   
    while (subfolders.hasNext()) {
        //Logger.log(folder);
        var name = subfolders.next();
   
        var files = name.getFiles();
   
        var cnt = 0;
        var file;
   
        while (files.hasNext()) {
            var file = files.next();
            var listEditors = file.getEditors();
            var editors = [];
            for (var cnt = 0; cnt < listEditors.length; cnt++) {
                editors.push(listEditors[cnt].getEmail());
                Logger.log(editors);
            };
            var listViewers = file.getViewers();
            var viewers = [];
            for (var cnt = 0; cnt < listViewers.length; cnt++) {
                viewers.push(listViewers[cnt].getEmail());
                Logger.log(viewers);
            }
            cnt++;
   
            data = [
                file.getName(),
                file.getSharingAccess(),
                file.getSharingPermission(),
                editors.toString(),
                viewers.toString(),
                file.getDateCreated(),
                file.getSize(),
                file.getUrl(),
                "https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=no_antivirus&id=" + file.getId(),
                file.getDescription(),
                file.getMimeType(),
            ];
   
            sheet.appendRow(data);
   
            };
    }
   

   }

Instagram changed their API and IFTTT can no longer support 'this' actions such as 'when I like a photo' or 'when I am tagged in a photo'.

It sucks right? No one likes when features are taken away. I hope we can find something soon that compares.
