Welcome to the Make community!
To do this, you can try using the Google Drive “Upload a File” module —
Uploads a new file.
For more information, see https://www.make.com/en/integrations/google-drive, and https://www.make.com/en/help/app/google-drive in the help centre.
Does the Module Require You to Map File Data?
Did you forget to download the file using the file’s link/URL? If it’s not downloaded to the scenario, the next module can’t access the file binary data (contents).
To do this, you can use the HTTP “Get a File” module with the file URL that you need to download. Your file has to be publicly accessible on the internet (doesn’t require authentication).
For more information, see the HTTP page in the Make Help Centre.
Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too —
