Downloading file from google drive

[Berserker_Bazaar]

Hello

I’m building a scenario to try and download google drive .png files.
I am using the “Watch Files in a Folder” module first. This is my first step:

I then use the Google drive “Search for Files/Folders” module to find the file ID. appears to be finding the correct file ID.

The file ID I get from the “Gets file ID” is the correct file ID for the file. As in, it is the same ID for the file when I try and share the link for the file from within my google file. However, whenever I try and map the file ID i get from the “Search for Files/Folders” module I keep getting an error message saying “File ID ”. When I hard code the file ID produced from the “Search for Files/Folders” module the document is found, but I need this mapped for my scenario.

Please please help me! <3
