    This document provides a code sample to generate a list of all files in a Google Drive folder and append details about each file to a spreadsheet. The function takes a folder name as a parameter and gets all files in that folder. It then clears an existing spreadsheet and adds column headers. A for loop iterates through each file, collects details like name, date created, size, URL, and file type, and appends it as a new row in the spreadsheet. This allows viewing and downloading details of all files in a Drive folder like the "ls" command in Linux.

    Generate List of all Files in a Google Drive

    Folder
    This is like running the ls Linux command for listing all the files and their details
    in a particular Google Drive folder. You an even make a tree of files.

    Call the listFiles method with the Drive folder name and it will create a list of all
    files and appends them to a spreadsheet. The direct download links are particularly
    handy for downloads PDFs and other non Google Docs documents.

    function listFilesInFolder(folderName) {

    var folder = DriveApp.getFoldersByName(folderName).next();


    var contents = folder.getFiles();

    var file, data, sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();


    sheet.clear();

    sheet.appendRow(["Name", "Date", "Size", "URL", "Download",


    "Description", "Type"]);

    for (var i = 0; i < contents.length; i++) {

    file = contents[i];

    if (file.getFileType() == "SPREADSHEET") {
    continue;
    }

    data = [
    file.getName(),
    file.getDateCreated(),
    file.getSize(),
    file.getUrl(),
    "https://docs.google.com/uc?
    export=download&confirm=no_antivirus&id=" + file.getId(),
    file.getDescription(),
    file.getFileType().toString()
    ];

    sheet.appendRow(data);
    }

    };
