we are going to retire Google workspace, user wants to save a copy of all Google Drv data. 

I wonder if there is script/policy we can push down to user's Mac, moving Google default folder to different location, saving a copy of GD files. 

 

Thanks in adv.

David

CURL would probably get harry with authentication. I would figure Google has an API for this thing. Have you reached out to Google?

 

This may be a start.

I think you'd want to look into the Google Workspace Takeout API:  https://support.google.com/a/answer/100458?hl=en
