Find files you shared in Google Drive™
See the files and folders you own that are still shared: anyone with the link, specific people, or your organization. Native Drive has search tricks. It does not give you one list.
The problem
You shared something years ago and forgot
A deck for a meeting, a folder for a contractor, a link you flipped to Anyone with the link for five minutes. Drive can search to:someone@email.com or link visibility on some accounts. Those searches miss old shares and they are not one filterable list.
Free vs Pro
- Free: Sharing scan on This folder or all of My Drive
- Free: filter All, Link, People, or Organization
- Free: click an item in the tree to see who has access
- Pro: Shared with me and Shared drives in the same tree Pro
How it works
One scan of what you still have shared
1
Pick the scope
Open Sharing in the organizer. Choose This folder (the folder you clicked) or My Drive if you want the wider scan.
2
Scan
The scan walks folders you own and checks which items are still shared. Progress shows how far it has gone. Nothing from the report is stored on Drive Organizer Pro servers.
3
Filter, then open in Drive
Use All, Link, People, or Organization. Open an item in Drive when you want to change access. Click a file or folder in the tree to see who has access without running a full scan.
Tips
What the list is, and is not
Items you own
The Sharing scan is for files and folders you own that are still shared. It is not Shared with me, and it is not a list of who manages a Shared drive. Those stay in Drive or, with Pro, in the same tree.
Start with This folder
A full My Drive scan takes longer on a large account. Scan the project or year folder first. Link shares are usually the ones people forgot.
