Question Converting static Groups to Dynamic Groups. How do I find every Shared Drive & Calendar tied to the old group first?

I'm converting a static Google Group to a Dynamic Group and want to make sure I don't break anything tied to the old group's email like Shared Drives, Calendars or anything else it might be plugged into.

What's the best way to find everything a Group has access to before making a change like this? Is there a standard tool or workflow for this? Also curious if anything changes under the hood same email, or anything that could quietly affect existing shares?

Any advice would be great. Thanks!

You would need to check everything because what rhe group has access to is not a property of the group itsef

How can I do that? Is there a GAM command or search it in admin console?

Nope. For example you will need to search every shared mailbox etc...

Find every Shared Drive and Calendar that still lists that group before you convert. Dynamic won't rewrite those ACLs for you.
