Case Scenario Google Drive - G Suite
900 Folders – each folder having 2 sub-folders
Each folder and sub-folder containing multiple .jpg images
I need to get a listing of shareable URLs for all images in all folders and sub-folders to put on a spreadsheet.
This can be done by selecting a group of files within a folder and pasting the URL to a spreadsheet, however it would take forever to manage this task for 2700 folders individually.
Currently Google indicates this is not an option offered
Is there a way to batch or script this automatically?
From what you're saying, I assume you'd need that as a feature from Google's Admin console, which I'm surprised isn't already an option. Off the top of my head, I can see a method using a bash script to loop through the file's urls, but it'd be extremely messy and may result in some form of rate limitation on your end of things. I suggest asking on Google's forum until it's implemented as a feature.

You can click the arrow in the search bar at the top to show more options and choose files by file type and by folder location. Then select all the files in the search results and right-click and download. – User – 2018-09-06T04:33:57.280
