Question

How do I transfer files from specific Google Drive (My Drive) folders to Google Shared Drive folders?

Here’s the scenario:

  • We scan documents as PDFs into a folder on a Windows file server
  • The Windows file server has Google Desktop installed
  • When the scanned documents are uploaded to the Windows file server, Google Desktop syncs the folder to a Google Drive (My Drive)
  • We then manually transfer the PDFs from the Google Drive to a folder in a Google Shared Drive

What we’re trying to do is automate the file transfer process (the last step above). We’d like this to occur several times a day.

 

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi there @tlit,

Welcome to the Community! 🎉

I’m so sorry for the delayed response here.

Before we dig deeper into this, could you please let me know if you are uploading the file to Google Drive to a subfolder within a folder?

I'll be keeping an eye out for your response!
