Google Drive Folders not pulling "Please Authenticate First"


Hello, I already disconnected the connection and made two new ones, and always as soon as I start a new folder flow there is any folder showing from the dropdown, it keeps loading forever and when finally loads, it appears the message " please authenticate first" can you explain me what could be the error and how can I fix it? I’m trying to pull meet recordings trasncripts folder.

thank you

Hello @Gabriela_Cortes , Welcome to the community :wave:,

How many folders do you have in Drive? Does refreshing the page after selecting the connection work? As a workaround, you can go to Google Drive, select the parent folder you want, and copy the folder ID from the search bar as shown in the image. Then, click on the f icon beside the dropdown and paste the ID there. After that, test the flow.

Hello Kishan thanks for helping me :slight_smile:
I did what you suggested but when I triend to load the data it does not work :frowning:

I refreshed it several times and tried both google drive connection but did not worked neither,

I have around 40 folders, idk what else could be the issue,

Thank you,

Are these folders inside My Drive or Shared Drive? Can you try creating a sample folder and test it again to see if it appears in the sample data?

Hello, the folders and inside My Drive
I just created a new sample folder but having the same problem
I also deleted the connection and reconnected google drive again but is the same:

  1. Appears “Please authenticate”
  2. When I used the function and placed de ID of the sample folder nothing showed up :frowning: any kind of sample data

@Gabriela_Cortes can you share the flow ID via DM to troubleshoot the issue?
