TheDrive - Listtask lets you search and retrieve files and folders that are stored on a Google Drive account.
Google Driveis a cloud file storage service that provides you personal storage space to store and access collaborative shared files and folders in the cloud.
Before you begin
Ensure that you perform the following tasks in your Google Cloud project before configuring theDrive - Listtask:
Enable the Google Drive API (drive.googleapis.com).
Create anauthentication profile. Application Integration uses an authentication profile to connect to an authentication endpoint for theDrive - Listtask.
TheIntegrationspage appears listing all the integrations available in the Google Cloud project.
Select an existing integration or clickCreate integrationto create a new one.
If you are creating a new integration:
Enter a name and description in theCreate Integrationpane.
Select a region for the integration.
Select a service account for the integration. You can change or update the service account details of an integration any time from theinfoIntegration summarypane in the integration toolbar.
ClickCreate. The newly created integration opens in theintegration editor.
In theintegration editornavigation bar, clickTasksto view the list of available tasks and connectors.
Click and place theDrive - Listelement in the integration editor.
Click theDrive - Listelement on the designer to view theDrive - Listtask configuration pane.
Go toAuthentication, and select an existing authentication profile that you want to use.
Optional. If you have not created an authentication profile prior to configuring the task, Click+ New authentication profileand follow the steps as mentioned inCreate a new authentication profile.
Go toTask Input, and configure the desired inputs fields using the followingTask input parameterstable.
Changes to the inputs fields are saved automatically.
