Audit your Google Drive and know who has access to your files and folders and what permissions they have. The auditor can also scan files in your Google Shared Drives.

Overview
Google Drive Permissions Auditor scans all the files and folders in your Google Drive and prepares an audit report detailing who has access to your shared files in Google Drive and what level of permissions they have.

You can audit files in your personal Google Drive and Shared Team Drives.

You get to know about the file's MIME type, the size of the file (handy if you are running out of storage space in Drive), the kind of access other users have on your files, the full path of the file in your Google Drive and the list of Google Accounts that have access to your files. You can click the file name in the privacy report to view or open the corresponding file in your Drive.

To get started, go to the Add-ons menu, choose Drive Permissions Auditor and then choose Start Audit.

The add-on is free but it will only scan the access permissions of 100 files in your Google Drive. If you would like to audit every single file in the Drive, please upgrade to premium.

The Drive Auditor add-on is an essential security add-on for Google Drive as it will help you know if any important files and documents have been inadvertently shared outside your Google account or your Google Apps domain.

The auditor scans all files but you can use the search operator of the Google Drive API to limit your search to files that meet certain criteria. For instance, the following search query will only scan Google Spreadsheets that are owned by you.

"me" in owners and mimeType = 'application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet'

The Google Audit addon is developed by Google Developer Expert and has undergone a security audit mandated by Google. It is certified 100% compliant with Google API policies. No part of your data is shared, stored or uploaded anywhere and everything resides only in your Google Drive.

This app is not free. You need to purchase a license. I contacted Google support and discovered that you don't actually need this app. Instead, you can navigate to the admin console: Admin Console > Reporting > Audit and Investigation > Drive Log Events. Then, click on 'Add a Filter' and select like 'Visibility is people with link.' You can even export the entire list as a Google Sheets document. Don't waste your money.

I purchased Enterprise edition and am getting zero response from support. There doesn't seem to be a way to choose your entire Google Workspace domain for searching. You can't even choose a specific shared drive. The only option is to search a specific folder. My work around was to put all folders/docs in a shared drive in one folder to search. I then ran the audit, and visibility, editors, viewers, and commenters columns are all blank which makes this extension useless to me. I want a refund.

It gives you very nice report, so you can do audit easily. Free version only gives 25 results and license is very expansive. It's not worth if you are not doing the audit once a month.

It was working for me a few times, and liked it. so I got a license for another Google Workspace that I manage. However, it stopped working after Feb 19, 2022. I reached out to support on various emails, even able to find the developers email and emailing both him and support. No support from anyone after multiple attempts for contact except once that was to send a screenshot then i never heard from them again, I tried their website support and it doesn't work, the support windows is stuck loading, even when I use different browsers, clear my cache, or use a different computer, no dice. It's too bad, I really wanted to us the software. Maybe, it hasn't been updated since then, I can't tell.

I tried the test version on both Firefox and Google Chrome, Windows 10. Does not recurse into directories and there is no easy way to look at the google drive structure in my corporate setting where we have THOUSANDS of directories. Instead it presents an endless flat file list of hundreds of folders. Needless to say, this is useless for any large amount of directories and files. I don't know if it works better in the paid version, but I think not. I don't see any good comments here like "works perfectly on thousands of files"

After pretending to scan all my files, it only reported on 25 of them, apparently because I use the free version of google drive.

Had been using it, worked great, paid for premium, then it expired. Have been trying to renew but absolutely no response from the author, none of the links to renew work, not trusting the add-on or the author at this point. Trying to pay and keep using it and recommending it but can't until we get a response. Not going to submit payments to expired pages etc. Amit - where are you? Are you still supporting this add-on?
