Hello i am new here, i have found error message when i wanna move multiple file from google forms response in google drive to another folder.

 

 

 

I am new in this technology, i hope anyone can help me to fix this. thanks

Hi @denierastar 

Help link to follow for using dynamic variable values in dropdown fields:

https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496241696141-Add-custom-values-to-dropdown-menu-fields-in-Zaps

 

Folder field expects the GDrive Folder ID.

 

File field expects the GDrive File ID.

 

Perhaps you want to use this Zap action: GDrive - Upload File

 

If there can be 1+ files submitted via the GForm, then you can use the Looping app to iterate thru the files:

i have done using upload File but the file in destination folder has changed. The original file is picture in original folder, but in the destination folder, the file changed to view document.

 

i just try with single file and set convert to document value is false, but the file in the destination folder still change to view document file

 

 

where’s my mistake? how to solve it?

Is the mapped variable ONLY 1 file URL?

Is the link to the file a publicly accessible direct download link?

yes I am trying with 1 file URL only, the link is automatically written in google forms response and have changed to public URL, I have tested it in incognito window browser and I can open and download the file without login

@denierastar 

Make sure the GDrive Folder where the GForms saves the files is set to Public.

Tool to help you know the GDrive File direct download link format: https://sites.google.com/site/gdocs2direct/

thank you very much, from the link you sent, at least I know that the link should be direct download link rather than opening a preview of the file in Google Drive. 

I have done with 1 File URL, and I am trying the multiple file URL with looping, but the files that I upload to another folder are become zip file. is anyone know how to move it with upload file in google drive without make it zip file?
