Google Drive object duplicates

Provides a summary of duplicated objects in Google Drive.

Shared drives candidate report

Gives information on the hierarchical depth of folders and the permissions held by objects within the folders.

There are limits to the amount and type of data you can migrate to shared drives. Use the information in this report to help you assess whether the folders are good candidates for migration to shared drives or whether you should reorganize the data to avoid potential migration issues. Go to Shared drive limits.

How to modify

Provide a value for:

  • Minimum object count—Minimum number of objects (folders and files) inside the folder (default value is 100). The scan excludes folders containing fewer than the specified number. 
  • Minimum shared with—Minimum number of users that have access to the root folder (default value is 5). The scan excludes folders that are shared with fewer users than the number specified.
  • % allowed with restricted permissions—Percentage of the content of a folder that is permitted to have restricted permissions (default is 1%). The scan excludes folders that have a higher percentage of restricted permissions. Go to Restricted permissions

Note: The report only includes scanned items that meet all of the conditions above.
