Google Drive Connector

This node connects to Google Drive. The resulting output port allows downstream nodes to access the files in Google Drive, e.g. to read or write, or to perform other file system operations (browse/list files, copy, move, ...).

Path syntax: Paths for Google Drive are specified with a UNIX-like syntax, for example /My Drive/folder/file.csv, which is an absolute path that consists of:

A leading slash (/).
The name of a drive (My Drive), followed by a slash.
Followed by the name of a file (file.csv).

Options

Settings

Working directory: Specify the working directory of the resulting file system connection, using the Path syntax explained above. The working directory must be specified as an absolute path. A working directory allows downstream nodes to access files/folders using relative paths, i.e. paths that do not have a leading slash. The default working directory is the root "/".

Advanced

Connection timeout: Timeout in seconds to establish a connection or 0 for an infinite timeout.
Read timeout: Timeout in seconds to read data from connection or 0 for an infinite timeout.

Input Ports
