Google Drive is a cloud-based storage service that enables users to store and access files online. The service syncs stored documents, photos and more across all the user's devices, including mobile devices, tablets and PCs.
Changelog
25 versions
v2.4.1
Latest
- NewFileOrFolder, UpdatedFileOrFolder, DeletedFileOrFolder: fixed a lock livelock which could produce a storm of 'Exceeded 30 attempts to lock the resource' errors and receive timeouts when a large change backlog was being processed.
- NewFileOrFolder, UpdatedFileOrFolder, DeletedFileOrFolder: the change backlog is now processed in bounded batches with the page token persisted after every page, so a redelivered message resumes instead of restarting.
- NewFileOrFolder, UpdatedFileOrFolder, DeletedFileOrFolder: webhook channel renewal from the trigger tick no longer retries a contended lock, holds the lock for the whole re-registration and no longer rewrites the stored page token; Google Drive API calls now have an HTTP timeout.
- NewFileOrFolder, UpdatedFileOrFolder, DeletedFileOrFolder: with Recursive enabled, a file created under a subfolder that appeared in the same batch of changes was silently skipped; the subfolder list is now rebuilt and the batch re-checked before it is marked as processed.
- NewFileOrFolder, UpdatedFileOrFolder, DeletedFileOrFolder: a freshly created file that Google Drive lists again in the change feed a few minutes later (same modifiedTime, higher version) was emitted a second time; the trigger now remembers the last 5000 processed files instead of the last three batches.
- GetFileMetadata: fixed a missing typeof check which made the component fail with 'Missing required parameters: fileId' whenever the file ID was passed as a plain string (a variable) instead of being chosen in the Google Picker.
- UpdateFileOrFolder: the file ID input is now declared required.
- CopyFile, MoveFileOrFolder, DownloadFile, GetFileMetadata, DeleteFileOrFolder, CreateFileFromText, UpdateFileOrFolder, AddFileOrFolderPermission: a missing required input now fails with a clear 'is required' error instead of an opaque Google API error.
- All components: realistic example values on every output port, so the designer variable picker shows previews.
- FindFilesOrFolders: output item schema exported for tooling; the output port options source no longer requires authentication.
- DeleteFileOrFolder: the declared googleDriveFileId output is now actually emitted (the component only ever sent fileId, so the designer variable resolved to nothing); fileId is still sent as well.

Authentication
| Type | Details |
|---|---|
| OAuth 2 |
Authentication Hub
Verified
This connector is globally authenticated and verified by Appmixer and is ready to use without registering your own OAuth application with the provider. Appmixer's Authentication Hub acts as an authentication proxy, so all OAuth-based connectors work out of the box. You can still use your own OAuth credentials (clientId and clientSecret) for enhanced customization or compliance — see the Connector Configuration section of the documentation. The Authentication Hub is enabled for all hosted Appmixer tenants; on self-managed installations it has to be explicitly set.
