Domain Level Reports

Gopher for Drive’s Domain level reports tab gives you access to the following reports:

  • Domain Usage: Generates a report of the amount of used storage for a select number of days for Drive, shared drives, photos, Gmail, and total usage.
  • Storage by User: Generates a report with a select amount of users (Max 100,000) as of a certain date who have more than x amount of storage.

    Note: The users presented are pulled alphabetically. So, running a report may not always generate the usage from the highest users.
