Transferring file to parent / root folder

[SurrounDTech]

Hi,

I am trying to transfer a file from one user's sub folder to another user's root (my drive) and have been trying the following command, but I can't seem to get it to work with targetuserorphansfoldername "". If a folder name is added, the command works correctly but does not when using just the "". Am I running this incorrectly?

gam user user@domain.com transfer drive otheruser@domain.com select <FileID> targetuserfoldername "" retainrole writer nonowner_targetrole source

I receive the following error and it looks to be ignoring the ""

With the retainrole removed to just have ""

Thanks in advance for your help.

The fact that the quotes in the command line are blue and all other characters are white is interesting; they are clearly not being recognized by the command line parser. You reference targetuserorphansfoldername "" but I don't see that in the command.

I'm in California (PST) and am available to Meet/Zoom.

Hi Ross,

Thanks for the reply and my mistake I should have proofread what I had posted it was the targetuserfoldername "" which was working not the Orphan version (bad copy and paste). I was actually running this in a PowerShell window so will try in just plain cmd and let you know how I go.

Hey Ross, can confirm it was the powershell windows, sorry I should have picked up on this before logging a ticket.

It should work in PowerShell, I'm still curious about the blue quotes.

Hey Ross,

Sorry I am in and out of meeting today (Australian based). The blue is just the colour anything in quotes in PowerShell Windows Terminal.

Working in CMD via Windows Terminal

Not working Powershell via Windows Terminal (Blue quotes)

Standard Powershell Window (grey quotes)

Get-ChildItem with Blue quotes

Windows Terminal Version

PowerShell Version

See: https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3/wiki/Command-Line-Parsing#windows-powershell https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3/wiki/Command-Line-Parsing#windows-powershell

To pass an empty argument you need ""
