Dear Zap Team,

I’m trying to append text in a Google Doc with information from Monday.com Pulses. The Zap works just fine for Docs in “My Drive” but not for Docs in my company “Shared drives”. 

I followed instruction from another post (https://community.zapier.com/ask-the-community-3/new-google-drive-zap-can-t-find-shared-drives-1067) and plugged in the folder ID into the Customize Text. Again, this works for “My Drive” but not “Shared drives”.

Are there specific setting I need to adjust on the Shared drive to allow Zapier to access the files?

Thank you,

Adrian

 

When do you expect this feature to be available?  I keep looking for alternatives but haven’t found much luck, there are a bunch of discussions online with people looking for this feature. 


I would like to add my vote to this feature request also. We have a need to create and upload a Google Doc to a Shared Drive with our university as opposed to a personal folder. This article: 

 claims that is can be done but it does not appear to work for us either. Please let me know if this is on the list of improvements!

Thanks.


Please add my vote to this thread, and numerous other threads going back 2 years. The Google Drive app and the Google Sheets app both support Shared Drives. The Google Doc app does not and it is a killer. Please fix this soon, it has been a long time since Shared Drives were added as a feature, they should be supported.


Is this feature still not available? I find this strange because there seems to be no problem with connected a google spreadsheet from a shared drive - this is specific to appending google docs?

 

if so, then i’d like to upvote this too. 


Any updates on this? The fact that we can’t append text to a document on a shared Google drive means we can’t automate our processes in the way we would like and may force us into using a different product. It’s a feature we need ASAP.


Adding my vote to resolve the shared drive issueas well. This could be a dealbreaker for some of our users and clients. @Danvers 


Please add my vote. Shared drives seem to be here to stay and it feels like Zapier should get on this. 


I assume that this has not be updated. If that is true please add my vote to this


Please add my vote.. sooo frustrating to lose all the zap functionality. I bet zapier is losing users by the day over this. Thanks


Would much like this feature - plus one!

Any news on the progress would be much appreciated.


Plus one please. It’s so strange that I can create a doc from a template, find the doc etc inside shared drives, but can’t append text. 

has anyone found workarounds?


PLEASE ADD MY VOTE FOR THIS @Liz_Roberts THIS IS SOO FRUSTRATING. COMPLETELY DESTROYS SHARED DRIVES FOR ZAPIER. 


Shared drives are all my org uses so we don’t lose documents in personal folders.  Is there any way to use the new Beta API as a workaround?


This was ever fixed? Seems to be a issue going back ages.

Hi,

+1 from me. This is a very necessary feature for us.


@JammerS can you add me to this list too? REALLY odd and frustrating can’t find/share/move items on Shared drives via Zap 😶

Hi @ajensen - Thanks for writing to us today! While this feature isn’t currently available, please rest assured that we have added you to our feature request wish list. You’ll hear from us as soon as we have an update to share. Thank you!


Hey folks, 

Just popping by with a quick update to announce that the feature request has been implemented! 😁🎉

The new Shared with Me option can be selected from Folder fields - as long as the Drive field is either left empty unselected or has My Google Drive selected:

With Shared with Me selected you can then access folders and subfolders that are in your Shared with Me area on Google Drive. 

We hope you’re able to make use of this new feature soon. If you experience any issues with it please do reach out in the Community to let us know. In the meantime, happy Zapping! ⚡️


Hi and welcome to the Community, @Warren! :)

I’ve added your vote for this feature request. No ETA on when support for shared drives will added but we will be sure to email you as soon as it is!


I noticed today that Shared drives are supported for Sheets integration (add a row to a spreadsheet) but not yet for Created Doc from Template - Folder for new Document.) That makes it seem like shared drive support is possible. Please consider this an upvote for Shared drive support for Google Doc creation from template.

Thanks!


Hi @SPEAKEASY!

I've gone ahead and added your vote for that feature. We'll let you know via email when that's been implemented.
