Gmail + Google Drive + Filter by Zapier

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. Get a step-by-step walkthrough in our tutorial on how to set up this Gmail-Google Drive Zap.

About Filter by Zapier

Only allow a Zap to proceed when a certain condition is met. For example, if you're sending a text message when you receive a new email, you could use a Filter that only sends a text message when the email received is from a certain address.
