Upload to Google Drive

Upload files to your Google Drive.

You can specify a target folder from your Google Workspace for the upload.

Before You Begin

Before uploading a file:

  • Configure your Google API Service Account Credentials.

    You can configure your credentials as an Activity Parameter or inline in the action step wizard.

Configure Your Authentication Settings

Configure your authentication settings for the Google API service account in the Authentication Settings panel. Select Pin credentials to specify the activity parameter containing the credentials, or select Use custom settings to provide the information inline. You can either import a JSON file with your Google API credentials information or specify the authentication information manually.

Configure File Upload Settings

To configure file upload settings in the wizard:

  1. Specify the directory path and the name of the file to upload.

  2. Provide a Google Drive Folder ID to upload the file into this folder.

    If you don’t provide this value, this action step uploads the file to the root folder of your Google Drive.
