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 Blueprint works.

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

Recommended Setup: This template 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, see the authorization guide for details.
