Hi All,

I am looking to access google sheets that are located in a shared drive. However the google sheet connector only allows to access file in my personal drive.

Is this possible? If not when will it be possible? Any hack to bypass this?

Best regards,  
Claude.

Hi @Claude_Seyrat! If the Google Sheet is shared in a “Team Drive,” you’ll need to save it on your personal drive first to be able to access it in the Google Sheets Import step. Would definitely encourage you to add team drive access to #feature-requests!

Hi @Claude_Seyrat 👋 Brian just replied to your Feature Request post, but we now support this!

> What is your feature/integration request? Would like the Google Sheet import and export to work also on google sheets stored in a team drive. What problem would this feature/integration solve? Google team drive is really used by companies to share docs and have collaborative editing. Not being able to use these is really limiting the scope to which parabola can be used. How do you solve/workaround this problem today? It is blocking my use of parabola.
