I need to create a sub-folder within a sub-folder within a folder etc...

Is there no way to navigate Google Drive folders in Pabbly? Currently I see we only have access to the rooft folder and one sub-folder (only one level down)

Please advise?

Hey @Lead Hero

It seems like you have passed the subfolder id in it, whereas to get the subfolder details from that parent folder you need to pass the parent folders' id in the field.

Please check out the following screenshot-

Currently this module is built on the API v2. I need to get subfolders of a folder in a shared drive.
https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files?q="{parent folder ID here}"+in+parents+and+trashed=false+and+mimeType="application/vnd.google-apps.folder"
the supportsAllDrives=true must be included in the query in order to support shared drives.
 
Please check the following screenshot and then try accordingly.

Thank you.
But again, unfortunately, I can't use that method as It uses the folder's name as the only key which is not unique.
Probably you don't have many folders with the name "opop", but I have approx. 700 folders with the very same name. See attach for reference.
Please provide another solution or give me the possibility to customize the search query by hand.
I tried injecting it in the field but it didn't work and I don't wish to pay for a service that I need to hack in order to make it of some use for my projects.

I love it. This feature is all I needed. I've just fixed 3 of my workflows in 15 minutes that I've been working on all night for days!
The custom search is so powerful that enables you to filter ANYTHING from your drive, by name, id, parent folders, metatype. You can get whatever you want with a single request. A tutorial would be great for your customers who work with Google Workspace. Maybe one day I'll do it myself, and if thas happens I'll tag your channel on youtube.
