When enabled, Skyvia finds the source file by its name in the selected folder. The integration continues to use a file with that name even if the underlying file is replaced.

If Skyvia finds more than one file with the specified name, the integration fails with an error.

File Masks

When you use Google Drive as CSV source, you can specify a file mask using a date/time template instead of selecting a file. When integration runs, it will search the file in the folder by substituting the current date to the mask.
