How to read a file uploaded in a Google Form?

I have a watch Google Form module, followed by set variables which saves the file ID of a .docx file uploaded.
I need to get the content of the file, but am unable to get a Google Drive connection to create.

What module can I use to get the content of the uploaded file?

Hi @Christine_B and welcome to Make!

What do you mean by “I need to get the content of the file, but am unable to get a Google Drive connection to create”? Are you unable to establish a connection with Google Drive? Are you unable to locate the file? Are you unable to read the content of the file?

If you can post a screen shot of your scenario, and the input/output bundles it could help.

I couldn’t get the connection to Google Drive to work. So I went back through setting up my oauth and did it all correctly this time.
Then I read the file but it was binary so it took a bit to get it to be converted to display as text in another file.
Got it all to work!
