Move new drive files into shared project folder
Automatically monitor new file in folder events across Google Drive. Move files into the right shared project folder when new drive files are uploaded, folder updates are detected, or drive items appearβso you can find the right folder, standardize filenames, and relocate assets without manual folder wrangling.
How this automation organizes your shared assets
When new files appear in a configured personal folder, production teams can waste time searching for assets in multiple places. This automation monitors Drive uploads, locates or creates the right shared folder, and moves files thereβso your team can always access current assets.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
