👤 Who’s it for

- Anyone who needs to recursively fetch all files from a specific Google Drive folder, including files inside all its nested (child) folders. - Ideal for automation builders, admins, and integrators who want to process, move, list, or report on all files in a complex folder tree.

⚙️ How it works / What it does

This workflow will: 1. Accept a Google Drive Folder ID as an input (from another workflow or trigger). 2. Recursively discover all child folders starting from the parent, no matter how many levels deep. 3. Collect all file IDs & names from every folder (parent + all descendants). 4. Return a clean list of all found files (with IDs and names) for further automation, downloading, or processing.

Key features: - 💡 Works recursively (handles any depth of nested folders). - 🏷️ Outputs file ID & file name for each discovered file. - 🔄 Can be triggered by other workflows (great for modular automation).
