Google Drive - Upload Files from Workflows

Overview

Easily import one or more files directly into a Google Drive account. The match type selected greatly affects how this Template works.

Note: This Template cannot be used to upload a local file from your computer.

Recommended Setup:

  1. A Task built with this Template should typically run after a Task that either downloads a file to Workflows or generates a file with code.
  2. 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.
  3. Service accounts may not be able to upload to a folder and must use a Shared Drive https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/7212025?hl=en
