Summary

Audit Google Drive files shared outside your organization and manage external access permissions.

  • Requires the gws-drive skill to execute; queries Google Drive for files with external sharing enabled
  • Three core operations: list externally shared files, review permissions on specific files, and revoke access when needed
  • Includes a safety caution recommending confirmation with file owners before revoking permissions to prevent unintended access loss

Audit External Drive Sharing

PREREQUISITE: Load the following skills to execute this recipe: gws-drive

Find and review Google Drive files shared outside the organization.

[!CAUTION] Revoking permissions immediately removes access. Confirm with the file owner first.

  2. Check permissions on a file: gws drive permissions list --params '{"fileId": "FILE_ID"}'
  3. Revoke if needed: gws drive permissions delete --params '{"fileId": "FILE_ID", "permissionId": "PERM_ID"}'
