Google Drive Search Files/Folder

[stew_5978]

Trying to troubleshoot a connection between Make and my Google Drive.

I am having trouble getting Make to generate an Output for Module ‘Google Drive Search For Files/Folders’. I have created a simple one-step example where I have connected my Google Drive and pointed it directly at a specific file, and it fails to generate an output.

I have connected my Google credentials as per this guide: Connect to Google services using a custom OAuth client - Help Center

For reference, my connection between Make and Google Sheets is working without issues. I have given integromat.com:

See, edit, create, and delete all of your Google Drive files permissions.

See and download all of your Google Drive files.

Could the ‘Google Auth Platform’ need more than https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-restricted as ‘Authorized redirect URIs’ for Google Drive?

Any guidance would be much appreciated. I have exhausted the capabilities of Gemini’s 2.5 Pro. It has given up.

Since you are using “Search within file/folder names”, use just testvideo.mp4 (no quotes) as the “Query”.

You only need query syntax if you use “Enter custom search query”.

The connection between Make.com and Google Cloud Console appears to be in order because when I test a different Google Drive Module Function it works.

It seems that there is something specific to Search for Files/Folders in this scenario. I have given it pretty much all the Scopes in Cloud Console.

From this picture, it looks like your Query still contains name = testvideo.mp4. It should be only testvideo.mp4, since you have “Search within file/folder names” and “Search for exact term” in place.
