Make recursive folder copy useful without letting an unchecked draft become a decision.

Illustrative idea, not a published runnable template. Grunt is prelaunch; live service is paused and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. The steps, providers, and outcomes below describe a concept.

For document operations, Prepare a complete folder and file copy while checking how existing sharing permissions should carry over. Copying access permissions can expose files to people who should not receive the new copy. Verify ownership and destination, review each inherited user and group, avoid public sharing, preserve originals, and require the data owner to approve the final access list.

Actual availability depends on published steps, supported connections, permissions, and provider approval.

What this workflow could do

Prepare a complete folder and file copy while checking how existing sharing permissions should carry over. It organizes the relevant inputs and prepares a result for the responsible person to check.

Review points proposed in this idea

Copying access permissions can expose files to people who should not receive the new copy. Verify ownership and destination, review each inherited user and group, avoid public sharing, preserve originals, and require the data owner to approve the final access list. A document owner must approve any external, consequential, or hard-to-reverse action.

Step 1 of 5

Confirm the purpose and authority

An authorized owner requests a copy of a shared folder. Confirm the requester, allowed purpose, and intended audience before using any records.

Proposed setup considerations

These are planning notes for the concept, not instructions for a currently available template.

  1. 01

    Set a narrow, authorized scope

    Document the purpose, permitted sources, allowed records, audience, and accountable document owner. Do not extend access beyond that scope.

  2. 02

    Limit and protect retained information

    Collect only what recursive folder copy requires. Restrict access, set a retention period, and keep credentials and private details out of broad messages or logs.

  3. 03

    Define source and exception checks

    Set checks for stale, incomplete, conflicting, or uncertain inputs. Preserve the original evidence and provide a clear human handoff when the result cannot be verified.

  4. 04

    Keep release and decisions human-approved

    Verify ownership and destination, review each inherited user and group, avoid public sharing, preserve originals, and require the data owner to approve the final access list. A document owner must approve any external, consequential, or hard-to-reverse action.
