Automated Google Drive Permissions Audit Workflow

This n8n workflow automates the process of auditing Google Drive file permissions to enhance security management. It runs daily to identify recently modified documents with risky sharing settings, such as ‘Anyone with the link’ or external user sharing. The workflow fetches recent files from Google Drive, filters for files with open permissions, and consolidates these details into a Google Sheet for easy review. It also sends an email report summarizing the findings, allowing organizations to promptly review and modify access permissions as needed. This automation is ideal for security teams aiming to maintain control over document sharing and prevent permission leaks.
