Hi @Mcat 

Good question.

You’d need to use the GDrive API: https://developers.google.com/drive/api/guides/search-files#specific

Zap action: GDrive - API Request

If you need help, consider hiring a Certified Zapier Expert: https://zapier.com/experts/automation-ace

 

 

Search for specific files or folders on the current user's My Drive

To search for a specific set of files or folders, use the query string q with files.list to filter the files to return.

This example shows the format of a query string:

query_term operator values

Where:

  • query_term is the query term or field to search upon. To view the query terms that can be used to filter shared drives, refer to Search query terms.
  • operator specifies the condition for the query term. To view which operators you can use with each query term, refer to Query operators.
  • values are the specific values you want to use to filter your search results.

Is Zapier still working on a function to search by Folder ID as mentioned in the other thread?

Is Zapier still working on a function to search by Folder ID as mentioned in the other thread?

I don’t know because I don’t work for Zapier.

But I do know Zapier doesn’t provide updates for pending feature requests until they are released.

Meaning there’s a chance they never develop this feature request.
