I'm trying to move attachments from AT to Google Drive using Make. For some reason when the scenario runs, the files that get created in Drive are invalid. These are small png logo images and when I try to open them in Drive I get an unrecognized file format error. Here is my Make setup:

Is the AT attachment URL field the correct one to be using?

Google Drive is looking for a file, not a URL. You’ll need to Get A File by using Make’s HTTP module.

Thank you. Not sure why I didn't remember that. I had used the HTTP Get File on a scenario transferring files from Salesforce to Drive.
