Recursive operation - "While" function - Copy Google drive directory

[samliew]

I have a single scenario to copy files and folders here

Copy a directory from Google Drive

I managed to make a scenario that recursively calls itself to copy files and files within subfolders. Overview Here is a screenshot of how the scenario looks like: [Screenshot_2023-09-02_210947] As you can see, many API calls are needed to be made to fetch folder IDs and path names from folder IDs, and create the destination folder if it doesn’t exist. However, this approach allows flexibility of the initial input and allows the scenario to also recursively call itself, as well as handle po…

It’s flexible because the input can be either folder IDs or folder Paths, and it handles copy access so it won’t throw an error.

not only that, I can simply specify

input: /path/to/OriginalFolder
or input: <folder_id>

output: NewFolderName

and it will put the NewFolderName in the same directory as the OriginalFolder

I think it still makes sense to split them into two scenarios though, especially if you are deep copying hundreds of sub-folders.
