Google Sync not recognizing .csv file?

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the basic functionality of a connected table. Every time we drop a new file in this folder, I'd like the table updated. The problem is I can't seem to get QB to recognize the .csv file. 

I correctly connected it to my gmail account, and Quickbase automatically created the "QuickBase Sync" folder. I opened my Excel, and saved it as CSV UTF-8 delimited. I then dropped the file into in the QuickBase Sync folder in the web version of GDrive. That was about 15 minutes ago and QB still doesn't recognize anything in this file. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Nevermind, I didn't realize it needed another folder inside Quickbase Sync.

  • I believe I have the exact same problem. Do not use UTF-8 format. It is higher up on the list of choices than regular  CSV, so you chose that one essentially by accident, like I did.  


    So scroll down and do a save as and choose the regular CSV.

      Thanks Mark! I got it to work using the 8bit CSV as well it seems now.
