Google Drive is a convenient online storage space for your files, and now you can also send faxes directly from it. This means you can access your documents and send them as faxes without having to switch between different apps.
To start faxing from Google Drive, you need to install the Google Fax add-on, which is a free service that integrates with Google Drive. This add-on allows you to convert your Google Drive documents into fax-ready files that can be sent to any fax number.
With Google Fax, you can send faxes to any country in the world, and the recipient can receive the fax as a digital copy. This is especially useful for businesses that need to send documents to clients or partners overseas.
Sending from Google Drive
Sending from Google Drive is a convenient option that allows you to fax documents directly from the cloud. You can do this by installing a fax add-on from your online fax service provider, such as CocoFax, which is available for Google Drive.
To get started, open Google Drive in your browser and click on the "Add On" tab from the right sidebar. You can then select the add-on of your fax service provider and install it. After installation, you will be prompted to authorize the link between the fax and your Google account.
Once you have installed the add-on, you can select and open the document you want to send over fax, and then select the fax add-on from the sidebar. Fill in the required fields and press Send.
Alternatively, you can use CocoFax to fax documents directly from Google Drive. To do this, download the CocoFax plugin and install it on your Google Drive suite. Then, when you want to send a fax, click on the "Add-ons" button and select CocoFax. A compose fax window will open up, where you can fill in the necessary details and send the fax.
