# See listing of all files shared into your Google domain

GAT+ provides a super detailed overview of a domain's Google Drive.

Admins can view all files**shared out** to external users outside the domain and **shared in** from outside users into your domain.

### Find externally owned Google Drive files

In GAT+ navigate to **Drive > Files**

From the **Drive sharing table** click on**Files owned by others shared in**

This will apply a filter

- **Sharing flags contains Shared in**

This will show all the files**shared into your domain**from**outside your domain.**

### Google Drive files owned by external users

The resulting view will show all files where the **owners are external** (orange label, see screenshot below)

These are files your users are working on, or can work on, if the **local users** have **Contributor** (editor) permissions.

GAT is the only tool that will report these.

Additional filters can be applied to view

- Contributors
- Viewers
- Updated date
- Last access date
- Last viewed (local user) (relative)

### Actions on Externally owned files

When the files are **owned by** an **external entity,** there is a limit to the action that can be taken.

You can**remove your domain access to those files**, **only if you**(user from your domain) have **contributor/editor rights to the files**.

GAT+ will take the local user's access to the file and try to remove the permissions. Like with Google Drive files, the editors can add/remove users from the files.

The contributor/editor must have a **live account,** and not be suspended. This could have further limitations from Google's end.

**NOTE:**Removing your domain from those files, just removes your **own access** to them, the **files still exist** and are active in the **external users Google Drive**.

#### Copy Externally owned files

You can also create a copy of the externally owned files if you have a local user as Contributor/Editor to the file.
