Thank you for the reply ! So when I look at the JSON I also see the other files, but in the table only one. The issue is that next on I have form to select from - there I can see only that 1 specific file instead of everything else. ---

Again, thank you very much for the help. Umm I am not sure I can share it due to my company policy… I will try my best to explain where I am stuck: The google drive node does give an outout in the json of all the names and links. Next thing is that I have a form where I want the user to be able to choose one of these docs - How ever what happens is that the user can see only one doc actually. what I did in the meantime was adding manually all the docs with the name + weblink in different fields ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/6/0/601e9539aa24440a23cb2a847a07dfeec9d980a6.png) ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/1/9/19c4d9a9f91c134a652146be2af970706ad47cef.jpeg) I know for sure there’s a way to be able to see the docs without this and choose one of them ---
