Drive Service
This service lets scripts create, find, and modify files and folders in Google Drive. Although
the built-in Drive service is easier to use, it has some limitations. For the most up-to-date
features and support, and to access files or folders in shared drives, use the advanced Drive
service (/apps-script/advanced/drive).

If your script uses a standard Cloud project

(/apps-script/guides/cloud-platform-projects#standard) instead of a default Cloud project, you
must manually turn on the Drive API. In your standard Cloud project, turn on the Drive API:

Turn on the Drive API (https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/enableflow?apiid=drive.googleapis.com)

The following code sample shows how to log the names of each file in the user's My Drive
folder:

// Logs the name of every file in the user's Drive.

var files = DriveApp.getFiles();
while (files.hasNext()) {
var file = files.next();
console.log(file.getName());
}

Note: Google Workspace Administrators can turn off the Drive SDK (/drive) for their domain, which
prevents their users from installing and using Google Drive apps. This setting also prevents users from
using Apps Script scripts, web apps and add-ons that use the Drive service
(/apps-script/reference/drive) or Advanced Drive Service (/apps-script/advanced/drive) (even if the add-
on or web app was installed before the admin turned off the Drive SDK (/drive)).

However, if an add-on using the Drive service is published for domain-wide installation and is installed by
the administrator for some or all users in the domain, or any script that has its OAuth client allowlisted
(https://support.google.com/a/answer/162106) by the domain administrator, the add-on functions for
those users even if the Drive SDK (/drive) is turned off in the domain.
