Get file by name

Get file by name

Gets the detailed information of a file from its path in Google Drive.


Options​

Drive connection​

Select the Connection action set up in the flow.

File path on Drive​

Enter the full path of the file, including its name and extension, for example /Documentos/relatorio.pdf.

Only search in "Shared with me"​

Turn this on when the file was shared with the connected account instead of owned by it. The first part of the path is then looked up in Shared with me: /report.pdf points to a file shared directly with the account, and /Client folder/report.pdf to a file inside a shared folder. Default: off.

Drive​

Enter the name of the drive to reach. Leave it empty to use "My Drive".

Returns​
