About the Google Drive integration
Add the Google Drive piece to a flow, connect your account once, and the rest of the builder can read from it and write to it. Because the piece is open source you can run it on our cloud or self-host it, and combine Google Drive with 760+ other apps in the same flow.
Triggers
Start a flow the moment something happens in Google Drive
Each trigger below can start a flow on its own, either instantly or on a schedule.
New File
Trigger when a new file is uploaded.
3 fields
New Folder
Trigger when a new folder is created or uploaded.
2 fields
New or Updated File
Trigger when a file is created or updated, checked on a schedule. Each event carries a Change Type of created or updated, and several edits between two checks arrive as a single event. Renaming a file counts as an update. Trashing a file is not an event, and neither is restoring one from the bin nor moving an existing file into the watched folder. Selecting a parent folder watches its direct children only, not sub-folders.
