Not sure about kiwi6 but for google drive


If you only want to download one file, then for google drive you simply need to change the url




or for general file by file download

Did you attempt to download just one file with the second method (just tests the method / url) ?

Your "next" procedure doesn't look much like mine in the howto ?

Also did you read to the bottom of the howto about the API changes ?

That is a strange looking list in your first image, and not one i would have used in my example.

Go back to basics:
  1. Load my example, get that working
  2. Change the links/sheet to you own files, get that working
  3. Integrate to your app, get that working
  4. Fully integrate

Otherwise you will need to share your spreadsheet, folder on google drive and aia if I am to be able to help further...

What's the problem ?
Why have you moved back to the old method of using different google sheets for filenames and file IDs ?

Your previous method was working (apart from the google drawing files)

Did you go back to basics ?
