Google Drive "Watch Files in a Folder" Issue 📁

[HyperAI]

Hey guys, hope you’re having a great day!

When I tried to select a folder inside my drive in the “Select the Folder to be Watched” field, it says “failed to load data”. I gave all the access it needs to Make.com, but it keeps saying “failed to load data”.

Have you guys come across with this problem before?

Hi @HyperAI

This issue happens when you have not added relevant scopes as explained in the documentation.

We would recommend you redo the connection settings or add the relevant scopes:

Welcome to the Make community!

The main scope for Drive is https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive

but see below for a further useful “hint”.

How to create an OAuth app in GCP: https://www.make.com/en/help/tutorials/calling-google-apis-via-the--http-make-a-oauth-2-0-request--module ← FOLLOW THIS

1a. Enable the relevant API

Find the relevant API here: Google Cloud console
Go to API page, end click “Enable”

1b. Add the relevant scopes

Direct Link: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/consent/edit

HINT: You can add ALL of the scopes because then you can reuse the same GCP app for other Google integrations!

2. Insert all the known Google Redirect URIs for your app

Direct Link: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials

Here are some known redirect URIs you need for your Google Cloud Console OAuth app. If you set these up, you can reuse the same GCP app for other Google apps and modules on Make.

Once you’ve set these up, you can use/reuse the same Make connection for all the supported Google apps & modules on Make - you’ll only have to enable the APIs for your custom app.

3. Publish your GCP OAuth2 app

Direct Link: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/consent

You might need to set your OAuth application to “Production”, otherwise the credentials expire very frequently.

1. To do this, go to menu item “OAuth consent screen”

or click here https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/consent

2. Then click the button below if the Publishing status is not “In production”

4. Set up connection (HTTP OAuth, or respective Google App)

A. HTTP OAuth2

You need a “Authorize parameters” key of redirect_uri with the above Make OAuth2 callback URL.

You can find the Client ID and Client Secret in the OAuth2 app you created in GCP, on the right-hand side of where you inserted the 8 callback URLs in step 2:

B. Google App (Sheets, Docs, Drive, Gmail, etc.)

Insert the GCP app client ID and secret here BEFORE clicking “Sign in”
