BLOCKS Reference

Google Drive

Share items from Google Drive

Self-Service Plan users (including trial version users) must enable the Google Drive API. For more information on how to enable the API, please refer to Enabling Google APIs.

Overview

This BLOCK shares items (files or folders) from Google Drive with other users.

You can configure whether those you share with can edit, comment on, or simply view the item.

To target items that already exist in Google Drive (not created/saved using Google Drive BLOCKS), you must share the items with the email address for your GCP service account. You can view the email address of your GCP service account in the GCP service accounts section of the Flow Designer Settings menu.
