Hello.
I am trying to use the Google Drive Connector to download files from a Shared Drive. But when I click on the Google Drive Source in the transformer all I see is the folders and files which are in My Drive. It doesn't show shared drives which I have created as well as drives someone has shared with me.
I'm just wondering if this is a bug and if anyone else has the same issue?
Many thanks.
Hi @jameskeys ,
I'm pleased to let you know that FME 2021.0 betas now support accessing Shared Drives with the GoogleDriveConnector.
You can try out the beta here: www.safe.com/beta

Hi @jameskeys,
I also ran in to this issue but I found a work around that works in my situation since I am forced to use fme 2019.2.
I was trying to read files that some one else is updating weekly and he shared them in a google drive folder with me but becouse it was a shared folder I was unable to connect to it. When I created a subfolder in the shared map (this requires to have editor rights in google drive) I was able to connect to this folder with the google drive connector by folder id. I had to request that this folder would be used in the future for placing the update files.
@andreaatsafe Happy to hear that this will be implemented in the 2021.0 version.
