Frequently Asked Questions about Google Drive + Microsoft SharePoint 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 SharePoint

Can I automatically copy files from Google Drive to SharePoint?

Yes, you can set up a workflow where any new file added to a specific folder in Google Drive is automatically copied to a designated folder in SharePoint. This involves creating a trigger for new file creation in Google Drive and an action to copy the file in SharePoint.

Is it possible to sync file deletions between Google Drive and SharePoint?

While we can set triggers for new or updated files, syncing deletions requires additional steps. You would need to set a custom workflow that also removes files from the other service when one is deleted, but this typically needs manual confirmation.

How can I ensure that file updates on Google Drive reflect in SharePoint?

You can use an automated workflow where updates made to files in Google Drive trigger actions that update the corresponding files in SharePoint. Ensure that your workflow identifies files by unique identifiers or names for seamless syncing.

What happens if a trigger doesn’t run as expected between Google Drive and SharePoint?

If a trigger doesn't run as expected, you should first check the configuration settings of your workflow. Also verify whether the necessary permissions are granted, as both platforms require specific authorizations for cross-platform actions.

Can metadata be preserved when transferring documents from Google Drive to SharePoint?

Yes, when setting up your actions, ensure that you map metadata fields correctly from the document source to the destination. This way, key details like author names or date created are preserved during transfer.

Do I need separate accounts for integration with both services?

Yes, you will need authorized access accounts for both Google Drive and Microsoft SharePoint. Each service requires authentication for execution of triggers and actions across platforms.

How often do automated workflows execute between these two services?

The frequency of execution depends on how often triggers are configured within your workflow settings. Automated checks usually occur at intervals defined by user preferences – typically ranging from every few minutes to hourly.
