Hello! I am trying to build a solution at the moment that requires the search of a filename in Google drive. 

The filename will be a duplicate filename and will exist in many places across the Drive e.g.

  • Customers > March > “Filename.txt” 
  • Root > Invoices > “Filename.txt”
  • Customers > June > “Filename.txt

I know I could do a bunch of tests to work this out, but I wondered - Does anyone know, off-hand which it will pick and what this is based on (e.g. Folder/File structure, Last created, Last updated etc)

Alright fine. I tested it, and thought I’d share my findings. After an hour of trying everything I can categorically say that it will pull in the file that was last updated. 

Which works for my use case, so I’m happy

 

Nice work and thanks for sharing the result! 🙌
