FAQ

Make sure you select your files using the Google Drive file picker button in the node. Markifact only has access to files that you explicitly select through the official Google file picker - we don’t have access to your entire Google Drive. Simply click the file selection button and choose your files through Google’s interface to grant access.
For your privacy and security, Markifact doesn’t have access to your entire Google Drive. We only have access to files that you specifically select using the Google Drive file picker. This ensures that your private files remain private and only the files you choose to work with are accessible to your workflows.
No, once you’ve selected files through the Google Drive file picker, Markifact retains access to those specific files for future workflow runs. You only need to select the files once when setting up the node.
Yes, as long as you can select the files through the file picker, you can work with them. This includes files in shared drives and files that others have shared with you.
The credit cost is the same regardless of how many files you select - 1 credit per execution. Whether you select 1 file or 500 files, you’ll only be charged 1 credit for using this node.
No, you can only select files. However, you can browse through folders and multi-select files from within those folders. The file picker allows you to navigate your folder structure to find and select the specific files you need.
After selecting files, use the output data (File ID, File Name, File URL, File Type) to connect to other nodes. For multiple files, consider using Loop nodes to process each file individually, or use the file information for batch operations.
