How to download the list of urls of images with renaming them with the values available in adjacent column in Google Sheets. function of Code.gs

I've made the script in google sheets and code of gs script (code.gs) it has been working fine and nice with the download function it is downloading each and every image in my google drive folder. But the main thing is that I want them to be downloaded with renaming them in the mean time with the column of text values available on the adjacent column
I just want the images to be renamed in the mean time when they are being downloaded in the google drive folder.
for example FIRST COLUMN ==>> "PICTURE URL" SECOND COLUMN ==>> "TEXT_TO_BE_RENAMED"
I've made the download button, when I click the download button it should execute the command to download the image and as well as rename the image the the values available on second column. Example of it is shown in below screen shot. I'm also sharing the sheet link below:
[HERE IS THE PICUTRE DEMONSTRATION WHAT I I WANT]
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jItuI2tQbpH4A5b9CFS9xWV3mNtnrV2jMRYPxEZSvlM/edit?usp=sharing
My code:
function downloadImage() {
let sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
let lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
for (let i = 0; i < lastRow - 1; i++) {
let folder = DriveApp.getFolderById("Folder_id_of_your_drive");
let url = sheet.getRange(2 + i, 1).getValue();
let image = SpreadsheetApp.newCellImage().setSourceUrl(url);
let blob = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url).getBlob();
folder.createFile(blob);
}
}
I literally tried every thing to produce the result but unfortunately failed I am expecting the result that the images can be downloaded with the renamed text available in the separate list of cells values or with the adjacent columns

You can check for errors and rename the files like this:
function downloadImage() {
const folder = DriveApp.getFolderById('...folder ID goes here...');
const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
const urls = sheet.getRange('A2:A').getDisplayValues().flat();
const names = sheet.getRange('C2:C').getDisplayValues().flat();
urls.forEach((url, index) => {
if (!url) return;
try {
const blob = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url).getBlob();
folder.createFile(blob).setName(names[index]);
} catch (error) {
console.log(error.message);
}
});
}
For additional information, see Folder.createFile() and the Blob class.

function downloadandrename() {
const f = DriveApp.getFolderById('fid');
const sh = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
const vs = sh.getRange('A2:C' + sh.getLastRow()).getDisplayValues();
vs.forEach((r, i) => {
if (r[0] && r[2]) {
f.createFile(UrlFetchApp.fetch(r[0]).getBlob().setName(r[2]));
}
});
}

Delete files from any existing folders or subfolders in google drive and keep the last updated one only using App Script

I have to keep the last modified files(any files) and remove(move to trash) other files having similar name from any folder or subfolder within google drive using app script only. How can I do it? please share code if possible. Thanks!

Delete All Sheets from All subfolders
function keepLastUpdated() {
const fldr = DriveApp.getRootFolder();
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
ss.toast('Entry');
findLastUpdated(fldr);
ss.toast('EOF');
}
//var level = 1;
function findLastUpdated(folder = DriveApp.getRootFolder()) {
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
let fs = [];
const files = folder.getFilesByType(MimeType.GOOGlE_SHEETS);// or MICROSOFT_EXCEL you choose
while (files.hasNext()) {
let file = files.next();
fs.push(file)
}
fs.sort((a,b) => {
return new Date(b.getLastUpdated()).valueOf() - new Date(a.getLastUpdated()).valueOf();
});
fs.shift();
fs.forEach(f => Drive.Files.remove(f.getId()));
const subfolders = folder.getFolders()
while (subfolders.hasNext()) {
let subfolder = subfolders.next();
//level++;
findLastUpdated(subfolder);
}
//level--;
}
This could take a while. It takes me about six to eight minutes to build a tree file structure of my drive in a spreadsheet and I only have about 3.06 GB used in my drive. I use the levels for keeping track of my recursion depth. I believe it can go to a max of 1000

How to create file directory from reading spreadsheet in apps script

I have managed to record a folder's file/folder directory into a Google Sheet. From this Google Sheet I would like to copy this folder structure by reading each row.
Google Sheet Link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qgDd8PEmHSYz5IsN9banYBjbmAyoLLVe3WMnOvmHdlE/edit?usp=sharing
function copyFolderTree() {
const sourceFolderId = '1uTGq2MRHzbev23sQzzFCi3Pl-v-ntMql';
const sourceFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById(sourceFolderId).getName();
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
const ws = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet1');
const data = ws.getDataRange().getValues();
range.shift()
const destinationRootFolder = DriveApp.createFolder(`${sourceFolder}`)
data.forEach(function(row){
Logger.log(row)
let depth = row[4]
if (row[4] === depth && row[2] === 'Folder') {
Logger.log(`Name of folder is currently ${row[4]}`)
Logger.log(`Depth is currently ${row[4]}`)
Logger.log(`Type is currently ${row[2]}`)
destinationRootFolder.createFolder(row[0])
row.push('hello')
Logger.log(row)
range.setValues(values);
}
})
}
I realise this is the incorrect thinking. Do I need to place the newly created folder into it's copied parent folder using the folder's name?
Thank you,

For folder tree, you can try
function copyFolderTree() {
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
const ws = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet1');
const range = ws.getDataRange();
const values= range.getValues();
var levels = []
values.forEach(r => {
if (r[2]=='Folder'){
if (r[4]==0){ // root
var dossier = DriveApp.createFolder(r[0]);
levels[1] = dossier.getId(); // specific correction as 1 doesn't exists in the example provided
}
else {
var parent = DriveApp.getFolderById(levels[r[4]-1]);
var dossier = parent.createFolder(r[0]);
levels[r[4]] = dossier.getId();
}
}
})
}

From From this Google Sheet I would like to copy this folder structure by reading each row. and First I would like to create the folder structure. My next step would be to work on transferring the files across., when you want to copy a folder (in your sample Spreadsheet, it's "Amy Bits".) including all subfolders and files using Google Apps Script, how about the following sample script? I have created a Google Apps Script library for achieving this situation. So in this answer, I would like to propose the script using the Google Apps Script library.
Usage:
1. Install library.
You can see the method for installing the library at here.
2. Enable Drive API.
In this library, Drive API is used. So please enable Drive API at Advanced Google services.
3. Sample script:
When your sample Spreadsheet is used, the sample script is as follows.
function myFunction() {
const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet1");
const sourceFolderId = sheet.getRange("B2").getValue().split("/")[5]; // Please set the source folder ID.
const destinationFolderId = DriveApp.createFolder("sample").getId(); // Please set the destination folder ID.
const object = { sourceFolderId, destinationFolderId, overwrite: true };
const res = CopyFolder.copyAllFilesFolders(object);
console.log(res);
}
If you can directly put the source folder ID and the destination folder ID, you can also the following sample script.
function myFunction() {
const object = {
sourceFolderId: "###", // Please set the source folder ID.
destinationFolderId: "###", // Please set the destination folder ID.
overwrite: true,
};
const res = CopyFolder.copyAllFilesFolders(object);
console.log(res);
}
Note:
If the script process time is over 6 minutes, you can see one more sample script. Ref

app script, after file.makeCopy create a new file, how to access this new file

I'm trying to get attachment from Gmail to Google Drive. After create a new file into the folder, I have encountered a problem accessing the new file that script created.
same as the makeCopy Function
err: Exception: The document is inaccessible. Please try again later. at myFunction(Code:21:37)
Appreciated any help and suggestions. Thank you!
function myFunction() {
const files = DriveApp.getFolderById("xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx").getFiles();
while (files.hasNext()){
var file = files.next();
var filename = file.getName();
const aname = "xxxx.docx"
if (filename == aname){
var oldid = file.getId();
var copyfile = file.makeCopy().setName("COPYYYYY");
var newid = copyfile.getId();
}
}
var body = DocumentApp.openById(newid).getBody();
Logger.log(oldid);
Logger.log(newid);
Logger.log(body);
}

Modification points:
In your script, I think that when file of var copyfile = file.makeCopy().setName("COPYYYYY"); is Google Document, the script works. But from your error message and const aname = "xxxx.docx", I thought that you might try to have directly opened the DOCX file using DocumentApp.openById. If it's so, the reason of your issue is this.
In order to open the DOCX file using DocumentApp.openById, in the current stage, it is required to convert the DOCX file to Google Document.
When above points are reflected to your script, it becomes as follows.
Modified script:
Before you use this script, please enable Drive API at Advanced Google services.
function myFunction() {
const files = DriveApp.getFolderById("xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx").getFiles();
var newid = "";
while (files.hasNext()){
var file = files.next();
var filename = file.getName();
const aname = "xxxx.docx";
if (filename == aname){
var oldid = file.getId();
if (file.getMimeType() == MimeType.MICROSOFT_WORD) {
var copyfile = Drive.Files.copy({title: "COPYYYYY"}, oldid, {convert: true});
newid = copyfile.id;
}
}
}
if (newid) {
var body = DocumentApp.openById(newid).getBody();
Logger.log(oldid);
Logger.log(newid);
Logger.log(body);
}
}
In this modified script, the DOCX file is converted by the method of "Files: copy" of Drive API.

Files: copy

Save Gmail attachments on Google Drive

I would like to save gmail attachments(.pdf files) from a specific email in a specific Google Drive folder. I also need to rename file with a string composed by some string of the email.
I have developed a simple script using Google Apps Script with some functions.
This is the main function I have wrote:
function GmailToDrive() {
var query = '';
query = 'in:inbox from:noreply#agyo.io has:nouserlabels ';
var threads = GmailApp.search(query);
var label = getGmailLabel_(labelName);
var parentFolder;
if (threads.length > 0) {
parentFolder = getFolder_(folderName);
}
var root = DriveApp.getRootFolder();
for (var i in threads) {
var mesgs = threads[i].getMessages();
for (var j in mesgs) {
//get attachments
var attachments = mesgs[j].getAttachments();
var message_body = mesgs[j].getBody();
for (var k in attachments) {
var attachment = attachments[k];
var isDefinedType = checkIfDefinedType_(attachment);
if (!isDefinedType) continue;
var attachmentBlob = attachment.copyBlob();
var file = DriveApp.createFile(attachmentBlob);
file.setName(renameFile_(attachment, message_body))
parentFolder.addFile(file);
root.removeFile(file);
}
}
threads[i].addLabel(label);
}
}
The checkIfDefinedType_(attachment) function checks if the attachments is a .pdf file and the renameFile_(attachment, message_body) rename the attachment extracting some string from the email.
The script seems to be correctly developed but sometimes I have two or more same attachments saved in my google drive folder.

Stefano, I had the same issue, if this is the same code as adapted from here.
I removed the line for (var i in fileTypesToExtract) { which was causing duplicates for me. It was running the query for each of the file types.

// `has:pdf` searches for messages with PDF attachments
var query = 'has:pdf in:inbox from:noreply#agyo.io has:nouserlabels ';
var results = Gmail.Users.Messages.list(userId, {q: query});
results.messages.forEach(function (m) {
var msg = GmailApp.getMessageById(m.id);
msg.getAttachments().forEach(function (a) {
var fileName = a.getName();
fileName = saveAttachmentToFolder(folder, a, fileName, msg.getDate(), input.tz);
});
});
function saveAttachmentToFolder(folder, attachment, fileName, date, timezone) {
if (timezone) {
fileName = standardizeName(attachment, date, timezone);
}
Logger.log(fileName);
folder.createFile(attachment.copyBlob()).setName(fileName);
}
The code snippet above is based on a Gmail add-on that I created, specifically for saving attachments to labeled folders in Drive: https://github.com/ellaqezi/archiveByLabel/blob/main/Code.gs#L24
In the label field, you can define nested directories to create in Drive e.g. foo/bar.
In the query field, you can copy the parameters as you would use them in Gmail's search bar.
