Google Drive and Googlesheet Access

Hi, at the moment, interacting with Google Drive files seems to require workarounds. I would like an update on AP-11391 which is referenced in multiple posts going back several years.

Hi @Nickd,

Check out these dedicated nodes for interacting with Google drive and sheets.

Hi @nizamibilal1064, yes I am using a variety of those nodes - but they leave something to be desired. My current workaround involves a file on My Drive shared with the Knime system user - writing to it via Google Sheets Appender…so I have to ‘prime’ the system by creating a blank googlesheet - and I can’t create it on a Shared Drive either.

I’m trying to understand how close AP-11391 is to being delivered.

Hi @Nickd and welcome to the forum.

I looked up the ticket and don’t have new info to report back, unfortunately. I’ve added a +1 from you on the ticket, though.

Hi @ScottF - thanks for the welcome and information. I’m new to Knime - how do these tickets work? Enough votes and they get done or is this very much a company decision, regardless of how popular a particular ticket is to the end users?

Generally we do take into account the number of votes topics receive in the Feedback & Ideas category (incidentally, I can move this topic over there if you like).

But yes, we have to balance end-user requests with development needs. The product owners are quite sensitive to this, as you might imagine :slight_smile:

Hi @ScottF , yes please, if you don’t mind moving this over to the correct category, that’d be helpful.

Done! Everyone can feel free to vote by clicking the yellow button at the top left of this topic.
