Pull from Google Drive

Pull from Google Drive fetches one or more files from a linked Google Drive account and brings them into your Multi FileFeed (MFF) as input files. Use it to start an MFF directly from files that vendors, partners, or teammates drop into a shared Drive folder.

Availability: Beta. Requires the WorkflowsGoogleDriveFetch feature. Contact your OneSchema support representative if you do not see this transform.

What it does

Input: source (no upstream input). This transform starts an MFF branch by connecting directly to Google Drive.
Output: one file per selected Google Drive file, in its original format.
The transform connects to your linked Google account, retrieves the files you select, and passes them downstream unchanged.

When to use it

A partner or internal team uploads files to a shared Google Drive folder on a regular cadence.
You want to avoid manually downloading and re-uploading files before running them through OneSchema.
You need to combine Drive-sourced files with files fetched from other connectors in the same MFF.

How to configure it

In the MFF builder, add a Pull from Google Drive node as a source at the start of your MFF.

Settings

Setting	Description	Default
Files	The list of Google Drive files to fetch as input files.	None selected

Configuration tips

Native Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides files need to be exported to a standard format (like CSV or PDF) before they can be fetched as files; select the exported version if one exists.
If a file moves to a different folder, the reference in this node still works as long as the file itself isn't deleted.

Example

Setup

A vendor uploads a monthly inventory.csv file to a shared Drive folder.

Output

The MFF receives inventory.csv as an input file, ready for downstream validation and delivery transforms.

Troubleshooting

"File not found" errors

Confirm the file hasn't been deleted or moved out of your account's access.
Reconnect your Google account if permissions have changed.

Unsupported file type

Native Google Docs/Sheets/Slides files must be exported to a standard format before this node can fetch them as files.
