Query
If you enter a single word as search term, all files in the selected folder will be listed that contain the term in the filename.
You can enter more complex queries to list files of a specific types etc.
See the Google Drive documentation for a detailed description of the query syntax.
If you want to track down a file by name that contains spaces, make sure to enter a query like this:
name contains 'My Filename With Spaces.pdf'
When composing complex queries do not use the parents field as this field will be added automatically by Ultradox
Note that you can use variables and renderers in your query
When using simple queries the Ultradox will also list folders. Folders can be distinguished from regular files by their MIME-Type.

Assume you have a folder in Google Drive where everyone can save files that need to be printed. Because several files belong together it does not make sense to print them right away, but to wait until all relevant files are available in the print folder.
To start printing the List Files building block will parse a list of all files currently available in the selected folder. Using a Repeat building block you can choose (optionally filter) the files.
Print documents then prints the given files on a Google Cloud printer.
