Issue: Google Drive only downloads one file instead of all

Hi everyone,

I’ve got a scenario in Make where I’m trying to download all files from a Google Drive folder.

:wrench: Current setup:

  1. Module: Google Drive > Search for Files/Folders
    → Successfully finds 60 image files in the folder.
    → Returns 60 bundles as expected.

  1. Module: Google Drive > Download a File
    → Connected directly to the output of the Search module
    → File ID is mapped correctly
    :cross_mark: Only the first file gets downloaded, the remaining 59 are ignored.

:test_tube: What I’ve already tried:

  • :white_check_mark: Using Iterator to loop over the Search results
    → Tried mapping the array with [bundle], files[], array[], etc.
    → Still only processes the first item — total number of bundles always shows 1.
  • :white_check_mark: Array Aggregator before Iterator
    → Tried creating an array manually and feeding it to Iterator → no difference
  • :white_check_mark: Mapping file IDs with index logic (like from 1 to N)
    → Only the first or last file ever gets picked — can’t loop dynamically that way
  • :white_check_mark: Tested both direct connection and via Set Variable, still just 1 file ends up downloaded.

:red_question_mark:What I need:

I simply want to download all files in the folder, one at a time. It’s OK if it runs in a loop. I just need a reliable way to do it from the list of files returned by Search for Files/Folders.

If there’s a better way to do this (even without Google Drive), I’m open to it!

Thanks in advance :folded_hands:
