Gmail Attachment Auto-Upload to Drive

This workflow is ideal for:

• Small Business Owners looking to automate file management from emails.
• Freelancers who receive client files via email and need efficient storage solutions.
• Project Managers who want to organize attachments received from team members in Google Drive.
• Individuals who frequently handle files via Gmail and desire a streamlined process for saving them.

This workflow addresses the challenge of manually downloading and organizing email attachments. By automating the process, it:

• Saves time by eliminating repetitive tasks.
• Reduces the risk of losing important files by ensuring they are consistently uploaded to Google Drive.
• Enhances organization by naming files systematically based on the sender's email and original file name.

1. Trigger - New Email: The workflow starts when a new email with attachments is received in Gmail. It checks for emails that contain attachments every minute.
2. Attach Binary Data Outputs: Once an email is detected, the workflow extracts the binary data of the attachments, preparing them for upload.
3. Upload Files to Google Drive: The extracted files are then uploaded to Google Drive. The files are renamed to include the sender's email address and the original file name for better identification.
