This script provides an automated way to grant access to a specified Google Drive account using PowerShell. The script simulates keyboard and mouse actions to provide access to the mentioned email.
- Windows OS with PowerShell.
System.Windows.Formsassembly should be available (usually comes with the .NET Framework).
- Copy the function
Access-Driveinto your PowerShell session or script file. - Use the function by passing the email address you want to grant access to:
Access-Drive -em "[email protected]"- The function opens the Google Drive web page in the default browser.
- It then navigates through the process of granting access to the specified email address.
- At the end of the function, all browser windows with "Google Drive" in the title are forcibly closed.
The script currently targets the primary Google Drive account (https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/my-drive). If you wish to access other drive URLs, you can uncomment the respective lines in the script.
- Ensure you're logged into the correct Google account in the default browser before running the script.
- This method relies on simulated keystrokes. It might fail if the structure of the Google Drive webpage changes or if there are unexpected delays in loading.
- Be cautious when using scripts that automate browser activity, especially on important accounts. It's a good idea to test on non-critical accounts first.
