Frequently Asked Questions about Gmail + OneDrive integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Gmail and OneDrive

How do I integrate Gmail with OneDrive?

To integrate Gmail with OneDrive, you can use our platform to set up triggers and actions. Start by creating a new Zap where Gmail is set as the trigger app, and OneDrive is set as the action app. Follow the steps in our interface to connect your accounts and specify the actions you would like us to automate.

Can I automatically save email attachments from Gmail to OneDrive?

Yes, you can automatically save email attachments from Gmail to OneDrive. By setting up a trigger for new emails in Gmail with attachments, we facilitate an action that will upload these files directly into a specified OneDrive folder.

What types of files can be uploaded from Gmail to OneDrive?

Our integration supports uploading all file types that are allowed by both Gmail and OneDrive. This means most common file formats like PDFs, images, documents, and spreadsheets can be transferred seamlessly between the two services when an email is received.

Is it possible to organize files in specific folders on OneDrive when saving from Gmail?

Indeed, you can organize files into specific folders on OneDrive by specifying the folder path during setup. When configuring your Zap's action step for saving attachments from Gmail, simply choose or create a preferred folder in your connected OneDrive account.

How often are integrations between Gmail and OneDrive updated or synced?

Integrations between Gmail and OneDrive run nearly in real-time. Each time your specified trigger event happens in Gmail (like receiving an email), we initiate the corresponding action configured with your connected apps almost immediately after.

Are there any limitations on the size of attachments that can be transferred from Gmail to OneDrive?

File size limitations rely primarily on what both services support. For instance, Google has a maximum attachment limit of 25MB per email, while file uploads to OneDrive are constrained by its own storage limitations. Our integration respects these boundaries during transfers.

Can I set conditions for which emails should have their attachments saved to OneDrive?

Certainly! You can set conditions using filters during the Zap setup process. For example, you might specify that only emails containing certain keywords or emails from specific senders should have their attachments saved to your connected OneDrive account.

Practical ways you can use Gmail and OneDrive

Save email attachments in OneDrive.

When a new email arrives in your Gmail inbox with an attachment, Zapier can automatically save the attachment to a designated OneDrive folder. This streamlines document organization, reduces manual effort, and ensures important files are securely stored for easy access.

Business Owner
Log email attachments in secure cloud storage.

When an email with an attachment comes into a monitored Gmail inbox, Zapier can upload the file to OneDrive. This helps IT ensure critical documents like logs or system reports are archived systematically, enhancing compliance and disaster recovery practices.

IT
Streamline project file organization.

When a new folder is created in OneDrive, Zapier can automatically label a related email thread in Gmail. This keeps communication and documents about a project aligned, helping teams stay organized and reducing time spent tracking down information.

Project Management

Supported triggers and actions
