How do I save email attachments that are already filtered in gmail to a google drive folder?

I was able to do it for new emails that arrive but the old ones already existed I couldn't!

Sadly, Zapier will only work on new emails - so you can use it to retrieve old attachments like this.

One potential workaround would be to take old emails with attachments and forward them to yourself so they count as new. You’d have to do this manually, one by one, though.
