How can I run macOS scripts in PowerShell?
Have you looked at a more PowerShell native tool like PSGSuite?
-
Trying to create a multi-select menu to choose which flags a function gets called with?
Oh definitely, but that function is one I already know how to use, from a module called PSGSuite.

Use GAM to resolve membership of nested groups?
I use PSGSuite instead of GAM, but this could probably be adapted. I made a PowerShell function to recursively get Google group members:
-
powershel/google admin
psgsuite.io

Trying to create a script/program to automate accounts
I automated this with powershell and psgsuite.

Easier way to assign new Users to Shared Drives?
Groups are then managed ether through Active Directory sync (GCDS), or through PSGsuite scripting. I don't do the scripting so I can't share how exactly that's done.

Webform that interact with PowerShell
I manage a Google Workspace tenant (Azure/O365 >> GSuite, ikr, but shht) where I would like certain users of our tenant to be able to fill in a form with a new employee's information, a PS script would get the information from the form and would make the user (using the PSGSuite module) and mail them. That's the easy part.

Need advice on how to "fix" my company's Drive structure.
I'm going through this with a sub-org we own. Luckily, management mandated that it's their responsibility to un-f*** the mess they themselves created. If you can get buy-in from above, set the option to allow users to create their own shared drives, and have them start moving stuff over. Short of that, welcome to GAMADV-XTD3 amigo.

Help managing contacts across multiple GWS accounts?
Use GAMADV-XTD3 to make sure you have the same contacts in both accounts.

Shared Contacts and contact lists
Complex and free: Still, use a Google Sheet to manage the contacts that are to be shared, but use GAMADV-XTD3 to add them as Domain Shared Contacts. GAM can even be scheduled to read from the Sheet, so changes are pushed to DSC regularly.

Drive API -- List all files in tenant?
I often reach for a 3rd party app for this use case. https://www.patronum.io/google-drive-management/ has some great features. GAT is another service that comes to mind > https://gatlabs.com/google-drive-management-security-and-auditing/ GAM is a cmd line tool if you're looking for something more in line with that: https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3
