Troubleshooting Google Drive file replacement in Zapier

Hi ​@mrrcomp 

For us to have more info, post these screenshots:

• how your Zap steps are outlined
• how your Zap steps are configured in EDIT mode with the field mappings visible in the CONFIGURE tab

​@mrrcomp 

In the screenshots below, the File field expects a file link or a file object, rather than the filename.
