Hello @17379115 ,

We cannot use the Google drive as a SFTP location so the normal filer transfer activity will not work.
You will have to first use the file extraction activity to create a file on your server.

Then you will have to use the Google Drive API to push the file dynamically by writing the javascript code.
You can refer to the details documentation here on how to use the Google Drive API

Let me know if that helps

Hi Manojk,

Thanks for your answer.

sorry, I’m not very familiar with JS. Would you mind please give me more explanation?

when you say I need to push the file by writing a JS code, do you mean in the WF where I want to export data ?

would you mind to give me an example ?

thanks
