Google Drive
Look up the Google Drive connector: its actions and events in alphabetical order, and the sign-in methods of a Google Drive connection.
The Google Drive connector lets a workflow manage files and folders in Google Drive. In the Add node panel, it's in the Connector category, under Google Drive. How connector nodes work describes how a connector node is set up.
Actions
Each action is a node that does one thing in Google Drive.
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Apply File Labels | Apply label to the selected file. |
| Clear File Label Fields | Clear selected fields of a label associated with the file. |
| Copy File | Copy File from one folder to another. |
| Create Folder | Create Folder at a specific location. |
| Delete File or Folder | Delete File or Folder from Google Drive. |
| Download File | Download File. |
| Get Drive Labels | Get the labels defined in Google Drive. |
| Get File Labels | Get File Labels. |
| Get File or Folder | Retrieve File or Folder information from Google Drive. |
| Get File or Folder List | Get File or Folder List. |
| Move File or Folder | Move File or Folder to a specific location. |
| Remove File Labels | Remove labels from a file. |
| Share File or Folder | Share File or Folder with a user or group. |
| Upload File | Upload file to specified folder in Google Drive. |
The panel also lists 5 actions marked (deprecated), which aren't listed here. Use the actions above instead.
Events
Each event can start a workflow, as a Connector trigger, or pause a run until it happens, as a Connector event. In the connector's list, events have the WAIT tag.
| Event | What it does |
|---|---|
| Existing Record Deleted | Triggers when an existing record is deleted. |
| Existing Record Updated | Triggers when an existing record was updated. |
| File Created | Triggers when a new file is created in the drive. |
| File Moved to Trash | Triggers when an existing file is moved to trash from the drive. |
| File Updated | Triggers when an existing file is updated in the drive. |
| Folder Created | Triggers when a new folder is created in the drive. |
| Folder Moved to Trash | Triggers when an existing folder is moved to trash from the drive. |
| New Record Created | Triggers when you add a new record. |
Connection
A Google Drive node signs in through a connection. Create a connection describes how to create one from the node. On the Connect to page, choose one of these sign-in methods:
| Sign-in method | What you need |
|---|---|
| OAuth 2.0 Authorization code | The email address and password of your Google account. |
| Bring your own OAuth 2.0 app | The client ID, client secret, and scopes of an app that you create in Google Cloud. |
| Service account | The key and email address of a Google service account. |
