Frequently Asked Questions about Google Drive + Microsoft Office 365 integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Google Drive and Microsoft Office 365

How do I link Google Drive with Microsoft Office 365?

To link Google Drive with Microsoft Office 365, you can use automation tools like ours. You'll need to set up a workflow where an action in one platform triggers a process in the other, such as saving an Office document automatically to a designated Google Drive folder.

Can I automate the backup of Office 365 emails to Google Drive?

Yes, you can automate the backup of your Office 365 emails to Google Drive. With our tool, you can configure triggers in Office 365 when an email arrives and actions that save these emails as PDFs or other formats directly into specified folders in Google Drive.

Is it possible for changes made in a Microsoft Word document to update a file in Google Drive?

Absolutely. You can set up triggers for when modifications are saved in Microsoft Word, and have actions that update or synchronize the respective file stored in your Google Drive, helping maintain consistency across platforms.

How often can data be synchronized between these applications?

We offer flexible synchronization intervals for automating data transfer. Depending on your needs, you could trigger synchronizations live or at scheduled intervals—every minute, hour, or day—to ensure your files are always up-to-date between Google Drive and Office 365.

What happens if there's a conflict between files updated simultaneously on both platforms?

In case of conflicts where files are updated simultaneously on both platforms, our system usually retains both copies by default and may provide alerts. This way, users won't lose valuable data unintentionally. Users might also configure specific trigger-condition-action rules to handle conflicts differently according to their policy.

Is there a limit on the number of documents I can sync between Google Drive and Office 365?

While we don't impose strict limits on document transfers between applications through our platform, both Google and Microsoft may have inherent storage limits based on their service tiers. It is advisable to check these parameters based on your subscription plans.

Can shared links from OneDrive be automatically added to a shared folder in Google Drive?

Yes. It's possible by setting triggers whenever a new sharing link is created in OneDrive which would then lead an action that posts this link into a designated shared folder within your team's Google Drive repository.
