Hello,

So we have been using FileExistanceChecker to monitor the addition of new files into our network folders, now we want to do the same for Google Drive Folders.

We were hopping someone in the community has had any previous experience on how to do this regardless of the method used.

Does anyone has any suggestions on how to do this from FME Form and FME Flow?.

Thanks in advance.

RZ.-

You can use a GoogleDriveConnector to grab a list of files in a specific Google Drive folder. If you run that on a schedule and compare it with the list from the previous run (which you stored somewhere) you can track the changes.

You could also look at utilising this functionality on GoogleDrive and get it to trigger a job/automation when notified

Hi @hkingsbury thanks for the suggestion, I’m looking into it, problem is we would have to involved other teams to do the GCP configuration since our team does not have access to GCP.

I was hoping there would be a different way.

Thanks again.
