I am trying to upload an excel file onto GoogleDrive. However, when connecting the GoogleDriveConnector to my Reader, the transformer uploads multiple copies of the same document onto my drive How do I make it so it will only upload the one copy?

GoogleDriveConnector uploading multiple files

Hi @jimbob0513,
Thanks for your question! Try replacing your Excel reader with just a Creator to trigger your GoogleDriveConnector. Your GoogleDriveConnector should already point to your excel file under Source > File to Upload. I imagine that the excel reader read in multiple features and these were each triggering a request to upload the file in the Connector. Hope that helps!

The feature is not being written as " Features not written - verify feature type fanout/dynamic settings". Is there a way to overcome this? Thanks!

Just noticed that you've posted a new question that seems to be resolved by Andrea here just a little while ago. For the full context of your workflow I definitely agree with Andrea about the FeatureWriter instead of the excel writer.
