Rclone can read size of Google Drive Shared Drive

[ale82x]

Hello,
i use rclone with restic to backup my linux server.

yesterday i check and i found error in backup , so look on google drive and i reach limit 400k files/folders.

as a picture i reach 100%. so now i delete trash (with more calm)

but can i check with rclone this value?
so i can create a script that email me when value is over 80% or 90%?

thank you

rclone size can count the number of objects for you.

thank you for reply.
i know that, but i discovered that files and folder on trash take up space on Shared Google Drive.

so i search a way to discover that percentage on image posted before.
so as to be sure that the backup has no problems ...

maybe with a sort of api ??? i don't know much about google drive api...

thank you again

hi,

you want to know the size of the files in the trash?

rclone size gdrive: --drive-trashed-only

[ale82x]

yes, thank you
i check now and on admin dashboard i view 2%
then on server
rclone size gdrive:
Total objects: 3.788k (3788)
Total size: 13.841 GiB (14861474503 Byte)
rclone size gdrive: --drive-trashed-only
Total objects: 3.683k (3683)
Total size: 71.929 GiB (77232938809 Byte)

so i think
3788+3683 = 7471
7471 is 2% of 400000 files (limit shared drive)

now i will study a script to sum these 2 value and send a mail if value is over 300000 about...

thank you

maybe is useful this command

rclone size gdrive: | awk -F"[()]" '/Total objects/{print $2}'

rclone size gdrive: --drive-trashed-only | awk -F"[()]" '/Total objects/{print $2}'

and then sum 2 values...

you need to access via web to admin Google Dashboard
https://admin.google.com
but you need to be superuser (administrator), normal user can't access to that view.

so step are
login in google admin dashboard as admin
go to application - Google Workspace - Drive e Documents
then click on manage Shared Drive
