Can anyone teach me

if there is a way to “find a file” in Google Drive by using the gfile URL].

* by >file URL] I mean the unique URL given in a google drive → 
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/XXXXXXXXXXXXX

 

Currently I can only “find a file” by using the title] of the file. 

 

The reason I want find a file” in Google Drive by using the Dfile URL]

is because is want to trigger the Zap by a new row in an spreadsheet,

which includes a file URL information which I want to copy to a new folder in google drive.

Hi @shoshosho 

The GDrive File URL includes the File ID, which can be parsed out from the File URL to use.

Hello @shoshosho, welcome to the Community! 🎉

Were you able to get this sorted by extracting the file’s ID from the URL, as Troy suggested?
