Practical ways you can use Google Drive and Notion
Back up key Notion pages to Google Drive
For business owners who want to retain backups of important Notion pages, Zapier ensures key pages are stored on Google Drive. When a new page is created in Notion, Zapier automatically saves it as a file in Google Drive. This prevents data loss and provides secure storage for critical information.
Business OwnerCentralize marketing assets in Notion
For marketing teams, managing assets across platforms can be challenging. Zapier connects Google Drive and Notion, so whenever a new marketing file is added to Google Drive, a corresponding item is created in Notion. This boosts collaboration and ensures teams always have access to updated resources in one central hub.
Marketing & Marketing OpsLog project files from Google Drive into Notion
Project managers often need to organize project files in one place. With Zapier, when a new project file is uploaded or updated in a designated Google Drive folder, it automatically creates an item in a specific Notion database. This keeps all project details accessible and organized without manual intervention.
