Pabbly File Uploader - files uploaded not Public - can't be accessed by Google Drive?!

Hi there Pabbly Support,

Using a Pabbly File Uploader step to upload an image file so that I can upload it to Google Drive from Paperform. I'm not getting a Failed RequestStatus with message: sourceUrl is not accessible (HTTP 404). Ensure the file is public.

When I check the file URL generated by Pabbly File Uploader, I get the message:

Error 404

Object not found

This object does not exist or is not publicly accessible at this URL. Check the URL of the object that you're looking for or contact the owner to enable Public access.

Is this your bucket?

(the Public Access points to CloudFlare and how to enable public buckets :/)


HELP!


THANK you.

Hello Michelle,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing the details.

This kind of error (sourceUrl is not accessible / HTTP 404) when passing a File Uploader URL into Google Drive is usually related to how the file URL is generated and mapped between the steps. A few things to check:

1. Open the File Uploader by Pabbly step and click Save & Send Test Request to generate a fresh, direct file URL. As link expires automatically in 20 minutes.
2. Make sure the Google Drive step's File URL field is cleared and then re-mapped to the newly generated File URL output from the File Uploader step (not a file name or ID).
3. Confirm the Google Drive action step is on the latest version of the integration rather than a legacy version, then re-test.
4. Click Save & Send Test Request on the Google Drive step to verify the upload.

If the URL still returns a 404 / not-publicly-accessible page after re-mapping a freshly generated URL, please share the Workflow URL and the action step number on which you are trying to upload the file.

Thanks & Regards,
