Google Drive Trigger does trigger when files are not uploaded by me

Questions

Hi Everyone,

I have a Google drive folder that I share with a few other people. I use the Google Drive trigger to automatically execute a playbook when a new file is uploaded in a folder. The trigger only works when a file is created by me in the folder but not other people.

If I rename the file, it gets picked up.

It looks like the API calls behind Google drive trigger has a default visibility set to me (q=“me”) versus shared (q=“sharedWithMe)”.

Is that a limitation or is there a way to make it works?

Ehy @fgu,
I have never had this experience, could you provide a screenshot or more details of the Google Drive node?

I try to support you as best I can :slight_smile:

Did your n8n google drive node was able to trigger and process files that were not uploaded by you? (assuming you were the one generating oauth creds for api access to Google drive)
