In this tutorial, I will teach you how to Save Gmail Attachments to Google Drive Automatically<\/strong> Using Google Apps Script<\/strong>. Basically, I will give you a small code snippet<\/strong> that you have to copy\/paste inside Google Apps Script editor to enable the transfer of Gmail Attachments (PDF & Images) to Google Drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:- Open Google Apps Script Website<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First of all, visit the script.google.com<\/a> URL and then click the “New Project” button to create a new project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within a few seconds, a new Google Apps Script project will be created for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how the next screen will look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:- Save Gmail Attachments to Google Drive Automatically<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a source code that you just need to copy\/paste inside the code.gs<\/code> file. This file is already opened in the Google Apps Script editor (as you can see in the above screenshot).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

code.gs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
const saveGmailtoGoogleDrive = () => {\n  const folderId = '1XsVZoyADqioGGMsFSuK27iqBSqbnaSY2';\n  const searchQuery = 'has:attachment';\n  const threads = GmailApp.search(searchQuery, 0, 10);\n  threads.forEach(thread => {\n    const messages = thread.getMessages();\n    messages.forEach(message => {\n      const attachments = message.getAttachments({\n          includeInlineImages: false,\n          includeAttachments: true\n      });\n      attachments.forEach(attachment => {\n        Drive.Files.insert(\n          {\n            title: attachment.getName(),\n            mimeType: attachment.getContentType(),\n            parents: [{ id: folderId }]\n          },\n          attachment.copyBlob()\n        );\n      });\n    });\n  });\n};<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Note:-<\/strong> Here you need to replace the value of const folderId<\/code> with the ID<\/strong> of your own Google Drive<\/strong> folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3:- Run the Script<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Now, it’s time to execute this script by clicking the “Run” button given in the editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After running the script, you will see that all the attachments inside your Gmail emails are automatically downloaded to Google Drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
