Hi there,
i am new here and also new creating automations. I am trying to came up with a very specific scenario, and doing some testing, i would like to understand how can i check if a file exists in google drive to not upload it. I am able to run that simple scenario, getting a file from an email, and upload it to Google drive, however, i would like to add a logic to not upload it if already exists. Once in drive, i need to identify fields within the pdf file to perform actions.. but thats another step 
Thanks all for your help.

P.S.: Investing some effort into the Make Academy will save you lots of time and frustration using Make.
Thx for the quick answer, i wil try right now.. In the filter, you say to add that in the condition field?
thx for the material, will review slight_smile:
I have changed 10 by 1 and update the filter - And still getting the file uploaded even if exists in drive..
Then it’s likely your search module isn’t set up correctly because it can’t find a match.
Thx @samliew .. Search module is as the image.. is, in theory, configured to search in folder 360 - where the files are located… Query, maybe is wrong.. that is the File name coming from previous step.
Hope you can see the images and advice
Regards.
