I use a custom action to pull the photos

Results are in URL form (which should work for google drive if the links weren’t protected)

I choose the files to upload

The outcome is a zipped folder that returns a “sign in”.

The likely reason those files are not hydrated properly into accessible file links or file objects is because you are using a Custom Action.

It may be that the CompanyCam API does not return publicly accessible direct download links for photos.

You can try reaching out to CompanyCam support for help with their Zap app integration and their API.

Perhaps try using this Zap trigger: CompanyCam - New Photo

Hello ​@Anon2026 
That’s happening because CompanyCam’s photo links are protected. When Zapier or Google Drive tries to grab the link, it just downloads the “sign in” page instead of the real image.

There isn’t a way to bypass protected URLs. Zapier has to receive the actual file, not just a link.

What usually works:

• Use a CompanyCam trigger or action that gives you a File object and map that into Google Drive’s File field.
• Or use Webhooks by Zapier with proper authentication to fetch the file, then pass that file into Google Drive.
• If you can’t choose projects in the CompanyCam app, add Filters or Paths in Zapier to only send the ones you want.
