Source: Google Drive file

The Google Drive module accepts a link to a file or folder and, if necessary, an access token.

When to use

Use Google Drive if a vendor or team is updating a file in cloud storage.

Setting procedure

1. Create a Google Drive source.
2. Paste a link to the file or folder.
3. If the resource is private, fill in the access token.
4. Receive the file and check its format.
5. Set up a schedule if the file is updated regularly.

What to check

• The link takes you to the current file, not to an outdated copy.
• The token has the right to read the resource.
• The resulting file is suitable for the selected profile.

Notes

• For Google Sheets, a separate Google Sheets module is more convenient.
• If a folder contains multiple files, agree in advance on the expected file and update order.
