Google Drive — Rename

Google Drive — Rename

Type: googledrive-rename  ·  Package: Google Drive v1.0.5  ·  Output: Dictionary<string,object>

Changes the name of a file or folder. The item keeps its ID, location, link and permissions; only its name changes. Useful to normalize names or add a status suffix (_processed).

How it works

Sets name exactly as given: it does not keep the extension on its own, so include it if the file has one (Final report.pdf). Drive allows duplicate names, so it does not fail if another item in the folder already has that name.

Required parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
id	string	—	File or folder ID.
name	string	—	New name, with its extension where it applies.

Optional parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
session	ZoanGoogleDriveSession	—	Session from Google Drive — Connect. Inside Connect’s body it is inherited and you can leave it empty.

Output

Returns a Dictionary with the item’s updated metadata (id, new name, modifiedTime…).
