How does google drive sync work? bulk or individual files


Forum|alt.badge.img

Situation:

  • As a zap user, i linked a google drive folder with an aws s3 bucket.
  • The sync works as expected (if i add a file in google drive, it gets uploaded to the s3 bucket )
  • I need to develop a tool that depends on how the sync in the zap works
  • I need to know if zapier sync sends all files in bulk, or if it sends one file at a time if i, let’s say, add 10 files simultaneously to my google drive folder

Task:

  • I have to build a queue system, but, depending on how zapier sync works, i have to implement some code in a lambda, or rather redirect the syncs to a different tool (webhook or step function or else)

Action:

  • Determine if zapier sync sends a single request to upload multiple files, or single request per file

Result:

  • If it sends one request per file, i do not have to implement anything, just throttle the lambda that is triggered
  • If it sends a bulk request, i have to implement a drip/bucket queue system

It triggers a single call per file. If one adds 10 files, it triggers 10 individual calls to the task:
