Google Apps Script that you can use to get the file names of all files in a Google Drive folder and write them to a Google Sheets spreadsheet


function getFileNames() {

  // Get the folder ID of the folder you want to list files from

  var folderId = "your_folder_id";

  

  // Get the folder using the ID

  var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folderId);

  

  // Get all the files in the folder

  var files = folder.getFiles();

  

  // Get the active sheet in the spreadsheet

  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();

  

  // Write the header row in the sheet

  sheet.appendRow(["File Name"]);

  

  // Loop through all the files in the folder

  while (files.hasNext()) {

    var file = files.next();

    

    // Write the file name in the sheet

    sheet.appendRow([file.getName()]);

  }

}




You can run the script by clicking the "Run" button in the Google Apps Script editor. Make sure to replace "your_folder_id" with the actual ID of the folder you want to list files from.
