Google Drive Activity Report

An administrator can actively monitor the domain users’ activity of files within the Google Drive Activity submenu. A real-time activity log displays all domain users’ Google Drive file actions and activities.

*Note: This feature is available to Collavate DLP users

Viewing Google Drive Activity Log

An administrator is able to view the Title of the file, action that is taken (activity), followed by the user performing the action, a file activity description, owner of the file, and the timestamp of activity. By default, the activity report log shows the activities of last 24 hours.

Search Filter

By default, the Google Drive Activity Reports screen lists Google Drive user file activity within the last 24 hours. To search for Google Drive file activity further than the last 24 hours, select the pull out hamburger menu button for search filter options.

The search filter allows searching Google Drive domain activities by the File Owner, File Title, File activity, and selected calendar interval dates.

Below is a list of user file activities that you can filter search results by:

• All Activity
• View
• Edit
• Create
• Moved
• Deleted
• Trashed
• Untrashed
• Permissions Changed
• Made Private
• Shared
• Starred
• Remove Starred
• Renamed
• Changed Owner
• Update Tags
• Updated Security
• Multiple Edits
• Processed

To search an activity from a desired period of time/dates, click on the calendar icon to bring down a month view of dates. The first date chosen is the begin search date, and the second date selected is the end search date of domain’s Google Drive file activity.
