Identify large Google Drive files consuming storage quota
by googleworkspaceFree
Description
recipe-find-large-files is a recipe skill from the Google Workspace CLI project, listed on skills.sh. It finds the Google Drive files that use the most storage quota. The command lists files ordered by the quota they use, in descending order, returns the top 20, and shows each file's ID, name, size, MIME type and owners in a table. The listing says the output helps decide what to delete or archive, and the recipe leaves those decisions to the user, who reviews the table and picks the files to archive or move. It requires the gws-drive skill. The recipe only lists files and does not change them, so it is a safe first step before any clean-up. It suits people whose Drive is close to its storage limit and who want to see which files take up the most space before deciding what to keep.…
