Why does my Zap to copy new files in folder A in Google Drive to folder B in Google Drive create separate folders for each file?

Can someone please guide me how to fix my Zap?:
 


Everything is working correctly, but when there are multiple new files in the source folder, the Zap creates separate folders for each file in the destination folder, instead of putting all files in a single folder.

So I thought of adding a filter but that didn’t help too.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hey @Jarod B. 

 

You should move Action 4 to Action 1 (Below Trigger). Also replace this action with Find Folder (Also select Checkbox to create a folder if it does not exists)

 

Currently what’s happening is when you add 5 files in a drive folder → Zap will trigger 5 times and 5 Folders will get created. If you add an action Find Folder, that will create a folder only once.

 

Hope this helps
