Save new Gmail attachments to Google Drive
It can be difficult to track down files attached to emails. Zapier can simplify your email and file management by automatically saving your email attachments to Google Drive for safekeeping. Whenever you get a new email in Gmail with an attachment, this Zap will save it to the Google Drive folder you want - just be sure to pick one when setting this up, otherwise we'll add the file to the root of your Drive.
You'll never have to waste time looking for an email attachment again.

Launched on Zapier April 24, 2012
Google Drive will keep all your files organized and up to date, and with Zapier, you can connect Google Drive to all your other apps. Send notifications, create and update documents, and share files without even opening Google Drive. Use Zapier to make Google Drive even more powerful by automatically managing your files—making sure they’re right where you need them, when you need them.
Here are some creative ways to use Google Drive with Zapier:
- Save all your Gmail attachments without having to download them yourself. Zapier will add files to Google Drive in the folder of your choice.
- Stay up to date on file sharing while working in Slack. Whenever a specific Drive folder receives a file, you’ll get an Slack notification.
- Organize meeting notes for new clients. When you create a new Trello card, Zapier will search for specific files in Google Drive and attach them to that card.
Zapier combines Triggers (like "New File") and Actions (like "Upload File") to complete an action in one app when a trigger occurs in another app. These combos—called "Zaps"—complete your tasks automatically.

Copies an existing file from another service to Google Drive.
