Description

DriveId

Drive Id / Shared Folder

YES

Specify a drive

FileId

File Id or Path (e.g. root:/somefolder/myfile.xyz: ) - Max 1000 Listed

YES

Specify a File Id or Path. Syntax: [{file-id}] -OR- [root:/{file-path}:] (Example: root:/folder/subfolder/myfile.xyz: )

GroupOrUserId

Default Group or User Id (additional Scopes needed to list - If fails enter manually)

Option	Value
My self (Not Valid for Application Credentials)
For any group	/groups/ENTER-GROUP-EMAIL-OR-ID
For any user	/users/ENTER-USER-EMAIL-OR-ID

To list all users and groups from your organizations you need additional scopes. See connection UI - Choose User.Read.All and Group.Read.All Scopes and regenerate token. You can manually type value too if you know Group or User Id. Format is /users/{id} OR /groups/{id}

SearchType

Search Type (For UI Only - Default=Recursive - i.e. Blank)

Option	Value
Recursive All Files (Keep Blank) - For User Creds Only
Non-Recursive / Children - All Files	children
Recursive *.xlsx Files - For User Creds Only	search(q='.xls')
Recursive *.csv Files - For User Creds Only	search(q='.csv')
Recursive *.json Files - For User Creds Only	search(q='.json')
Recursive Custom Extension Files - For User Creds Only	search(q='.myext')

If you do not wish to see files from child folders then use Non-Recursive option. Recursive option has certain limitations (e.g. Only indexed files will appear so it takes time to show up in the list). If you do not see some files listed in the output then use Non-Recursive option (must specify Parent Folder Path in SearchPath property).

SearchPath

Search Folder (For UI Only - Helps to narrow down File Selection DropDown) - Max 200 Listed

This parameter is only for UI. Select this to narrow down File List Dropdown. Select Search Folder first and then select File List dropdown to see new File list (found under this selected folder).

Option	Value
Do not convert
Convert To PDF	pdf
Convert To HTML (source file must be .loop, .fluid, *.wbtx)	html

Use this option to download file and convert to another format (e.g. download excel file as pdf).
