Hi all,
I am setting up 2 automations that update files in Google Drive from attachments in daily reports that are emailed to me. I am running into the same issue in both setups, which is strange because I have successfully done this before so I am hopeful this community can help!
in the ‘Replace File’ action, I am unable to search the Drive to find the doc to replace. I have attached a picture below. Any insight would be helpful - thanks!

Also, you can't trigger or act upon a folder shared with you, so files added to folders you don't own will not trigger the Zap.
The connected account must be the owner.

Hi
+14You should update to the newer version of the Gmail Zap app integration.
Screenshots did not show how the GDrive Zap action step is configured for the ‘Action’ tab section.
Thanks
+14In Zap step 2, the File to Replace field expects a value that is the GDrive Folder ID.
That can be mapped from a previous Zap step or set as a static value by using the ‘Custom’ tab.
