Frequently Asked Questions about FileCloud + Google Drive integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with FileCloud and Google Drive
How do I set up the integration between FileCloud and Google Drive?
To set up the integration, navigate to your automation platform, like Zapier. Create a new Zap by selecting FileCloud as your trigger app and Google Drive as your action app. You will then configure triggers from FileCloud, such as 'New File Uploaded', to initiate actions in Google Drive, like 'Upload File'.
Can I move files automatically from FileCloud to Google Drive?
Yes, with our integration setup. You can configure a workflow to automatically transfer files based on certain triggers in FileCloud. For example, when a new file is uploaded in a specific directory in FileCloud, it can automatically trigger an upload of the same file to a designated folder in Google Drive.
What types of triggers can I set up with this integration?
With the integration, you can set up various triggers such as 'New Folder Created', 'New File Uploaded', or 'File Updated' in FileCloud. These triggers will enable corresponding actions in Google Drive based on your specified configurations.
Is it possible for changes made in Google Drive to reflect back in FileCloud?
Our current integration primarily supports triggering actions from FileCloud to perform actions on Google Drive. For synchronization where changes reflect back into FileCloud from Google Drive, additional manual steps or third-party tools may be required.
Are there any limitations on file types when transferring files using this integration?
Typically, the supported file types would depend on both services' capabilities (FileCloud and Google Drive). However, most common file types like documents, spreadsheets, images, and PDFs are supported for transfers between them using our platform.
Can I synchronize entire folders between the two platforms?
Currently, synchronization is usually performed at the file level through specific automated actions triggered by events like file uploads or updates. We recommend setting up individual triggers for each folder you wish to sync.
How do I manage permissions for files transferred via this integration?
Permissions typically need to be managed within each platform—both before and after transfer. You should ensure that the necessary permissions are correctly configured on both FileCloud and Google Drive if permissions are crucial post-transfer.
