Mail to Google Drive: Automate Your File Management

Automating your file management can save you a significant amount of time and reduce stress. With the "mail to Google Drive" feature, you can easily send files from your email to your Google Drive account.

You can send files up to 750 MB in size, which is large enough to cover most document and image files. This feature is available for Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Docs users.

To get started, you'll need to set up the "mail to Google Drive" feature in your Gmail account. This involves creating a special email address that's linked to your Google Drive account.

By automating your file management, you can free up more time to focus on what matters most – your work or personal projects.

To set up auto file send, you'll need to create a Zap in Zapier. You can start from scratch or use a template, like the one for uploading files to Google Drive.

You'll need to search for and select Google Drive as your action app and Upload File as your action event. Then, click Continue to customize where you want your files to go.

To save files to a specific folder in Google Drive, select the folder from the dropdown menu under Folder. If you don't want to save files in a specific folder, you can leave that option blank, and Zapier will save the files to your main Google Drive.

You can also convert your attachments into an editable document by selecting True under Convert to Document. By default, Zapier uses the same name and extension as the original file attachment, but you can change this by selecting a different name and extension.

Here's a quick checklist to ensure you've set up your action correctly:

Once you've finished setting up your action, click Continue to test your Zap.
