Weekly Google Drive Audit Reports from Notis
Every Friday, Notis sends a summary of what changed in your Drive: new files, permission grants, and folders that haven't been touched in weeks.

Action
List Files and Folders

Why this helps
Your Drive is chaotic; files accumulate, permissions get out of sync, and you never know what's been added or changed.
- Weekly visibility into Drive changes
- Spot permission issues early
- Identify and clean up unused files
- Compliance and audit trails made easy
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive to Notis.
- 2Create an automation named 'Weekly Drive Audit'.
- 3Tell Notis: 'Every Friday at 9 AM, generate a report listing all files added this week, any permission changes, and folders with no activity in the past month. Save it as a Google Doc.'
- 4Set the trigger to a weekly schedule.
- 5Verify the first report appears on Friday and review it.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize what gets included in the audit?
Yes. Tell Notis what to track: new files, permission changes, share counts, or file age.
Does this work for shared Drives or just personal Drive?
Both. Notis can audit personal Drive, shared Drives, or all accessible Drives.
What should I do if the report shows concerning changes?
The report is your signal to investigate. Notis can link directly to the affected files so you can review or revert permissions.
