Files & Folders
File Stat
Adds details of the file each row names — whether it exists, its name, extension, size in bytes and last-modified time — reading files on the server, in My files, in Google Drive or on a computer sharing through the desktop agent.
When to use it
Use it to check a file arrived before a flow reads it, to find empty or oversized files, or to pick the newest file from a list.

Worth knowing
- Leave File path column blank to use the path an Input Folder or Google Drive list provides.
- A missing file is not an error: Exists is false and the other details are blank, so a Filter Rows can decide what happens next.
- Reading details changes nothing, so previews show real values.
