I am thinking of using logic Apps to store files on a Google shared drive on a regular basis. I have been able to use Google Drive's create a file action to store files on my google drive, but I am unable to store files on the google shared drive. Please let me know how to set this up.

    There are two ways of using Google Drive connector in Logic App. You can create or you can upload files. You can try to create a new file into google shared drive. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/googledrive/#create-file If you did so, probably configure Google Drive to grant the required permissions. To troubleshoot your issue, you can check the run history and status of your logic app workflow in the Azure portal. You can also enable diagnostic logging and use tools such as Log Analytics or Application Insights to monitor and analyze your logic app performance and errors.

    @Kengo Iwai Thanks for reaching out.

    Unfortunately, the connector doesn't work with the shared drive. I do see the feedback is already passed here but there is no ETA if this is supported in the near future and feel free to upvote and provide your feedback. I will also pass the same to my team internally.

    The alternative would be leveraging the HTTP connector and call the REST endpoint of the google endpoint to perform that operation or build your own custom connector to support the different operations.

    We hope that Microsoft developers will update the default connector in Power Automate and add appropriate parameters, specifically for uploading files to folders that have been shared with the user. This needs to be done using the folder ID, not the name path as currently available in the standard connector. The Google API version 3 documentation has been updated, and Power Automate developers should ideally adjust these updates to enhance functionality
