Google Drive - Download Files to Workflows

Overview

Quickly export one or more files from your Google Drive account. The match_type selected greatly affects how this task works.

**Note:** This Task cannot be used to download a local file to your computer.

**Recommended Setup:** This task supports providing either the name of the Folder/Shared Drive or the ID itself. The ID is the recommended approach because it is unique and can be copied from the URL.

If your file is located in a Shared Google Drive or folder, the Alli Google Service Account (see these instructions for information on how to capture), you must share both the sheet and the folder or shared drive.
