Google Drive

Known limitations of Google Drive

The Google Drive API has some limitations, which affects what automations we are able to offer in Relay.app. Some common requests include:

Copying folders

Copying folders isn't offered by the Google Drive API. As a workaround, you can use an iterator to copy files in a specified folder one at a time. Note that only files will be copied, not subfolders.

Suggested workaround:

1. Create a new folder in Google Drive

2. Find all files in a folder using your selected criteria

3. Iterator: For each file found in step 2, copy that file into the previously created folder

Unzipping files

Unzipping files is not currently supported by the Google Drive API.
