Try searching the forum:

Where is the Web event block that fires when the downloaded file arrives?

4

ResponseFileName

Specifies the name of the file where the response should be saved. If SaveResponse is true and ResponseFileName is empty, then a new file name will be generated.

You need convert google drive link like this "https://drive.google.com/open?id=xxxxxxx&export=download "

This would also apply to downloading files…

By blocking events do you mean this? (I attach screenshots)

As previously advised, you are using the wrong url syntax to download a file from google drive:

This:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=<FILEID>

will not work

Use this instead:

https://drive.google.com/uc?id=<FILEID>

I corrected as you recommended me but the download does not work the same

I told you this in post 4 of this topic :wink:

There is a block to set the responseFilename. Put this BEFORE your Web1.get block
