The following Google Apps Script is designed to generate a quick, random and fairly unique value. I've found it useful for generating some random strings for meeting IDs. I have included a JavaScript 'slice' so that I can generate just an 8-character value for instance (you can adjust as required).
var uniqueValue = Utilities.getUuid();
var shortUniqueValue = uniqueValue.slice(0, 8);
The following Google Apps Script is designed to get permissions of a given Shared drive. It uses the Shared drive ID to then list a users email address and role they have. This page on Google Drive permissions is useful for what we need to put together to make the call.
Enable Drive API Service
Make sure you have followed the instructions here to enable the Drive API Service.
The Code
We need to include an optional argument that allows for us to work on Shared drives:
var optionalArgs = {
supportsAllDrives: true
}
Next we can run the request to contact the Drive API and request a list of existing permissions:
var sharedDrivePermissions = Drive.Permissions.list(sharedDriveID, optionalArgs);
The following Google Apps Script is designed to search Google Sheet data for a list of terms that need correcting and the cell colour changing on ones that have been modified. So here is a list of the 'incorrect' words to find and what it should be replaced by, as an example:
This blog post is a slight adaptation of the one here for Find and replace in a single column. This time we are expanding our scope to the whole of the Google Sheet data where our list of terms may be present in multiple columns.

The following Google Apps Script is designed to bulk create Google Drive folders along with a sub-folder from data given in a Google Sheet (eg to name the folders and add permissions).
This tool and blog post is largely a continuation of this one for bulk creating Google Drive folders. The main difference being that there is an extra column to provide the name of your sub-folder. Note that the tool will try to create a sub-folder regardless of what is entered - as I was just aiming to create a version for the many requests I got from the previous blog post from people who wanted a sub-folder.
