谷歌表格脚本超过了最大执行时间，即使有刷新选项？

Question

So I am a noob in coding but managed to adjust the code a bit to do what I need it to do and that is to list the files inside a folder and its subfolder files.

The issue is that the files total is about 50k or more and keeps increasing each day XD so now most of the time I get a "Exceeded maximum execution time" and sometimes's I don't. Inside the script, there is a flush function so it should reset the timer if I am correct?

I run the script every day I do not know what to do to fix this? I think the best would be to have a function that will check if it is already listed and if not updated to skip it to speed up the script but again I just do not know atm ware to start.

If someone could help me to fix the " Exceeded maximum execution time" I would be extremely grateful.

this is the script:

Thank you all

I think the best would be to have a function that will check if it is already listed and if not updated to skip it to speed up the script but again I just do not know atm ware to start.

These links from the official documentation should help:

https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/drive/drive-app#searchFiles(String)

https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/drive/drive-app#searchFolders(String)

https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v2/search-files

https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v2/ref-search-terms

You can use the information in the documentation to create a script that only pulls the most recently added and/or updated files.

However, if you need to process a large volume of recently updated files you'll need to leverage some kind of batch processing solution that spans multiple sessions.
