Search Folders

Find a single folder within your Google Drive environment.

Input

Not all of the fields are mandatory. Most often the search will only contain the Name field. But if you want to limit the search to more specific folders, then use more inputs to limit the scope of the search.

Caution

This action only returns one folder result, even if more than one result would technically fit the inputs chosen.

Apostrophe (') character is not supported in the name.

  • True: A folder that has a "Starred" label applied to it.
  • False: A folder does not have a "Starred" label applied to it.
 Boolean FALSE

  • True: A folder that has been Trashed.
