Hi all - could anyone please help advise on how I can download a Google Doc as a PDF, and save it to a specific folder, please?

This image shows the UiPath interface with a Google Drive activity configured to download a file and output its name in the console. (Captioned by AI)

As you can see from the Download File GDrive activity, I have specified my file, defined the format I want it to download as, but I cannot work out where this file is being saved. Would anyone know 1) where these files get saved by default, and 2) know how to define a folder/location I want these saved in?

Thanks in advance!

@sam.willson,

There is no direct option to save it to custom location. Follow this approach.

  1. Use newPDF.LocalPath to get currently saved file path
  2. Use Move File activity to move this file to Custom location
  3. You can get the actual name of the file with newPDF.FullName

Hi @sam.willson

Assign newPDF.LocalPath = “C:\Users\DownloadedFile.pdf”, then use the Download File activity with File to Download set to the file ID, Download Option set to PDF Document (.pdf), and FileOut set to newPDF.LocalPath.
