Watch csv files in shared google drive

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to set up the Google Drive Watch Files in a Folder module to recognize a csv file. It seems to want only Google native files like Google Docs/Sheets etc. I see from other topics that other people are getting this to work but can’t see how. Any help would be greatly appreciated–such a seemingly simple task has me pulling my hair out. I do see there is a Choose where to start dance I could do by right clicking on the module. I do indeed see my file when I choose manually but when I see that and then choose From now on as suggested it goes back to not seeing it. Here’s the link to that post Google Drive - Watch file in folder module not working - #2 by Runcorn

Thank you I shall try this.

You could also use the “Search for files/folders” module to get the files created in the past hour with a custom query like this:


(example from 1 hour ago if your scenario runs hourly)

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
