How to get google folder id from google drive link

[Artika_Kumari]

Hi

I am trying to move files from one google drive to another using automation between Make and Clickup.

In clickup I have records that have assigned google drive links where all files related to a client is save. Now using Make I am moving this files from one google drive link to another.

My question is how do I use google drive link to get the folder ID so that I can copy over the files.
Also how can i copy multiple files from a folder at once ?

Grateful if someone could assist me on this.

Thanks
Artika

Welcome to the Make community!

A.

Assuming your links are similar to this:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cq_DLarU2e6CKYwmL0eM2eN18c7bTquG/view
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cq_DLarU2e6CKYwmL0eM2eN18c7bTquG/edit

You can directly download the file this way:

B.

Otherwise you can do this just to get the Folder ID

This gets the full path of the file, including file name, using the ID of the file found in the URL e.g.: 1cq_DLarU2e6CKYwmL0eM2eN18c7bTquG

You get /path/to/folder/filename.pdf

This removes the file name from the full path, so you can get the Folder Path: /path/to/folder, and the module gets the Folder ID:
