Google Drive unable to read files beyond a specific point

Hello Makers!

I am using an Incrementor and using it to load video files from Google Drive one after another. The files in the drive are all in the same folder as shown in image below. I am able to successfully read from 1.mp4 to 5.mp4. However, as soon as it reaches 6.mp4, the Google Drive Search for file module fails - the output bundle is empty! All the files are the same format etc. In fact I copied the same 1.mp4 and renamed it to create the rest of the files and I am able to reproduce that it fails reading after 5.mp4. Any thoughts? Thanks a lot in advance.

I was able to fix it myself.

Under “Search”, I changed the option from “Enter Custom Search Query” to “Search within files and folders”. The query in both cases I am using is the same.

Not sure why custom query fails after 5.mp3 but I seem to have a workaround.

Thanks!
