Print All Data Transfers

Syntax

gam print datatransfers [oldowner <email>] [newowner <email>] [status <completed|failed|inProgress>] [todrive]

Prints a CSV of all data transfers. With no parameters, all transfers will be printed. The oldowner, newowner and status parameters limit the output to results which match. The todrive parameter causes GAM to generate a Google Spreadsheet of the results rather than outputting the CSV file to the console.

Example

This example prints all transfers

gam print datatransfers

This example prints all transfers that have failed to a Google Spreadsheet.

gam print datatransfers status failed todrive
