The DriveApp service in Google Apps Script gives you full programmatic control over Google Drive — creating folders, moving files, sharing documents, and searching across your entire Drive without ever leaving your script.
In this series, we'll follow the Acme Corp sales team. They store monthly reports, client contracts, and regional sales data in Google Drive. Using Apps Script, we'll automate how those files are created, organized, and shared — turning manual Drive work into hands-free workflows.
All examples in this series work with a Sales Tracker Google Sheet with the following columns:
