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.
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.
