How to use Google Drive Service Acc

Hi @mike1,

So we checked on our plugin and demo page, and we could not identify these issues on our side, unfortunately.

The Upload button is working, the RepeatingGroup with Children files from a Folder can be seen and downloaded (if there is no mime_type) but the idea is that you are able to Add File to a Folder with File ID into an actual folder. Meaning, you need to select a folder which actually contains files, for example:

But if there are not files, you can always add file to the empty folder by using a File ID, but make sure to click on the empty folder first (in our demo).

Hope it helps.

OK - I have got the demo to work - except for downloads - and only by refreshing the page:

#1 - Uploading a file

#2 - Assigning to a folder

So yes, these parts of the demo app are working, but not as I’d expect. Are you using a different browser to me? I have tried on both Chrome and Edge (latest version which is Chrome under the hood anyway).

Regardless, the real issue is #3 which we haven’t addressed and that is downloading the file I uploaded:

#3 - Downloading the uploaded file
Clicking on “Download to database” for this file I just uploaded does nothing:

If I find the file you used in your screenshot above, it does attempt to download, but fails (I assume because is a native Google Drive file, not an uploaded file):

Thanks @mike1 for feedback,

Unfortunately, this is just our demo page that requires improvement so it doesn’t confuse on test. We’ll have to adjust it so the file is added without actually refreshing the page. As well as assigning to a folder. Sorry about this one. :pray:

However, the plugin is up-and-running and even the downloading a file for files, but it is “downloading” to our database by creating a new Thing:

But the downloaded file is received through external API that plugin offers:

To download the file (if there is no mimeType). In case there is mimeType, it throws an error as per your last screencast example.

Our plugin is working, but the demo setups are confusing, unfortunately, so we’ll have to improve it certainly.

In case you have a paid Bubble plan, you can simply subscribe to this plugin and give it a try on your side and it won’t cost that much, because it will charge monthly fee / 31, meaning only for days used.

Hope it helps and thanks for understanding. :pray:

In the Get Search files items data call, I’d like to be able to limit my data call to a particular subfolder in the drive.

How do I do this?

This seems to be outdated, now it’s shared drive (not team drive) and you’re not able to add a service account because it’s attached to an organizational unit instead.

I don’t think this plugin supports shared drives because when I do a “Get file” test with a regular shared folder it shows up, and when I try the same with a folder inside a shared drive it doesn’t work even though they’re shared in the same way.
