If you haven’t used Send to Google Drive before, here’s how the it works.
You specify a Gmail label name in the sheet and the script will scan all your existing and incoming email messages inside that label for file attachments. For instance, you can say “inbox” to monitor the inbox folder, specify a custom label name or say “all” to monitor every folder in your Gmail mailbox. If the script finds an attachment, the file will be downloaded to your Google Drive.
Here’s a step by step guide on how you can setup the Send to Google Drive program for your Gmail account. It takes less than a minute.
Once the attachments have been saved, a new label — Processed — is applied to the Gmail message indicating that the message has been processed by the script. It saves all types of attachments but you can also specify a list of extensions separated by commas.
If you would like to stop the script later, open the same Google Sheet and choose Uninstall from the Gmail Attachments menu.
