One list for your whole Drive
Google Drive has no button that lists every file. After a scan, Wistorix shows every file in one list with name, path, file type, size, owner, sharing status and last modified date.
Filter before you export the list of files
Export only what you need: files that are public, files shared outside your organization, files over 100MB or files nobody has opened in a year. A focused report is more useful than one long list.
Export a report in one click
Export the report from the analysis screen to save the results. Use it as an inventory record for a handover, or to compare one scan with the next.
How to export a list of files from Google Drive
- Scan your Drive. Install the Wistorix Chrome extension, sign in to the account you want to inventory and run a scan.
- Filter the list. Pick a group, or filter by file type, size or sharing status.
- Export the report. Save the report to send to your team, attach to a handover record or keep on file.
When to export a file list
- Before an employee leaves, to see what they own
- When a client project closes and you need a record of what was delivered
- During a regular review of files shared outside the company
- When preparing to move data to another account
The full handover process is in our Google Drive offboarding checklist. If you need permissions in a spreadsheet without any extension, see the Google Drive permissions report guide.
How Wistorix keeps your data safe
- The list contains file metadata only, never file contents
- Exporting a report never deletes a file or changes a permission
