Connector Specifics

Files on Google Drive are accessed not by a file name, but by their unique ids. This causes the following behavior: if you replace a file, used in an import, on Google Drive, you will need to edit the integration and reload the source file in it. Otherwise, the import won't be able to find the new file with the same name on Google Drive when run next time.
