Q: File Download / Save 1.

The download with ZeroW. changes the normal filename from Name_Date.xlsx to 97443c85-9362-4577-9f31-4b2cd7ab6ec4 without any file extension. Website: https://app.clockify.me/reports/summary

2. Is there a way to save a file with a specific name in a specific local folder, or even over an workaround with f.e. OneDrive? Is there a YT Video about it, because the KB Artical (https://docs.zerowork.io/using-zerowork/using-building-blocks/save-file) is 1 .very minimalistic.

A: - UPDATE (edited, Nov 2024):

We've completely revamped the fie uploading and downloading handling. Now you can give your files custom names, download them to custom folder paths, upload them from custom folder paths and much more! 🚀🔥

1. This behavior is not usual for ZeroWork. Normally, the downloaded file names reman as they are. There must be something specific to the website you are using that makes ZeroWork change the name - perhaps an extra protection layer that that website has or file being available in the browser session only. I wanted to check your website to see what can be the reason, but it's not public and requires an account.

2. You cannot change the file name at the moment, although this is an upcoming feature (ETA: Next 4-8 weeks). You can upload the file to OneDrive or Google Drive by using Upload File building block *directly* after the Save File building block.

As a side note, we are also planning to introduce native Google Drive integration. It might possibly solve the issue that you have.
