Hello,
I’m developing an automatic content loader from Google Drive folder to a YT channel.
While testing the connectivity and the data flow between two Google Drive modules, I get Runtime Error [404] Shared drive not found.

Google Drive Watch Folders runs and obtains the correct Folder ID as the output.

The folder ID and Shared Drive ID (although not shown in the output of What Folders module) are successfully passed to Google Drive Search Files/Folders module as expected. But it runs into the error 404.

Google Drive folder is set to share with anyone with the link, and since Google Drive Watch Folders module is able to access it, the cause of [404] lies somewhere else.

Can I ignore these errors as it is suggested it in Make’s Automatic error handler suggestions?
What could be causing 404 error and how can I fix it?

Thanks!
Kevin

Hello @Kevin_Ko, you need to upgrade the access to editor

In the anyone with the link access change it to editor

Thanks for helping out @Pathfinder_Automate , but it didn’t work.

I changed to the Editor access for anyone with the link as you have suggested.

But the same error. No difference.

Delete the variable from the “Shared Drive ID” field. You shouldn’t be using that field.

That worked, but it says “This parameter is required if the folder is located in shared drive”. Am I misunderstanding what a “shared drive” is? I’m sharing my Google Drive. Isn’t that a shared drive?

BTW, thank you @Pathfinder_Automate for your effort and @samliew for the solution.

A shared drive is not a shared folder.

Shared drives only exist in Google Workspace, and not personal Google accounts.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Thanks for letting me know the nuance of it. I never used Google Workspace before, and now I know I need to be a bit more nuanced when using Google infra!
