Notification on Changes to a File or Addition of a File in a Drive Folder.

[ErnieK]

Hi,

We use Google Drive and Team Drive extensively in our company.  We have some users asking if we can have a feature that when a user stores a new file or changes a file in the folder, there will be a notification sent to members of the Drive folder.  Is this possible?

Thanks.

It's possible via Google Drive Activity API with the ancestorName parameter. But I don't know if there is a standard utility for the domain.

In this case you need an Apps Script (as a variant) to realize the feature.

Hello,

Actually its easier than you think.

Go to report > Audit Log > Drive

Use the Shared Drive ID filter:

You can find the Drive's ID in the Drive's URL:

 After that, you can add other filters if you want a more specific report.

And finally, you just have to set an alert:

You can send alerts to alerts central, admins or specific users:

Hope this can help you!

You can try : https://www.onleenotification.com/

Folder notification is in the paid plan.

You can also send notification to a google chat space instead of email notification if you want.
