This keeps files organized and accessible across platforms, reducing the risk of misplaced documents and saving time.

Back up new Google Drive files to OneDrive
IT professionals can use this to simplify backup processes. Whenever a new file is added to a specific folder in Google Drive, Zapier will automatically upload a copy to a designated folder in OneDrive.
