Remotely pick-up files and save to Google Drive on a schedule

Is it possible to have a zap poll a remote site for the existence of files and then, if found, remotely fetch any files (SFTP or SCP) found and save to a folder on Google Drive?   All in a completely automated manner, so it’s hands-free end-to-end.  If files don’t exist then the zap just goes to sleep and tries again the next day.  On a schedule.

Hi there ​@IBM 360 Coder

Looks like Troy has already shared some helpful links to the sort of apps you'd need for that sort of workflow. Were you able to get set up to a Zap running a daily check for new files?

If not, feel free to share some screenshots on where you're at and any errors you're seeing so we can help out. Happy to lend a hand if you got stuck at all 🙂
