In the “Batch requests” section of the official Drive API document, we see that a batch can process multiple requests. But when there are too many files, the process cost of the script the Drive service creates can be too high. When you need to manage small sets of files on Google Apps Script, Drive Service is right for the job.


This report looks at how Google Apps Script improves file management with batch requests, judging its efficacy by measuring the benchmark. With Google Apps Script, even large batches can be executed within 6 minutes, offering businesses the monetary and time benefits of efficient file management. Google Drive alone can handle small file management jobs, but for larger batches of files, it can be too much for a simple Drive script to manage.
