Connector Improvement: Google Drive File ID
When pulling data from Google Drive, it would be helpful to get the file ID as well as the name.
Currently we only get the file name, but that can change over time, whereas the ID is constant.
Our use case: we want to associate a file to other data, so we create one and save the ID. Users can then later fill in data in the document. But users also have the ability to change the file name which breaks our "link" to our other data sources.

Hi Jonny,
Thank you for taking the time to write up this great suggestion.
Can you confirm that the File ID you are referring too can be found in the Google Drive File URL and is the combination of letters and numbers that appear after "d/" in the link eg: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/***ThisIsFileID***/edit#gid=123456789I'd look at getting this added to the roadmap
