Fetch files from a folder

Table of Contents

Note: As previously announced, Zoho Docs is being discontinued and the Deluge Docs integration tasks will stop executing starting 15th September 2023. For your advanced file management and collaboration requirements, we recommend you refer to the WorkDrive API documents as an alternative.

Overview

This task is used to fetch details of all the files present in a specified folder in your Zoho Docs account.

Note: On average, it takes about a minute to index a file/folder after it is created or updated. This indexing time can increase if the queue size increases. You will not get the expected result if you execute zoho.docs.getFiles task before the files you need to fetch are indexed.
