I am trying to figure out how to create an automation to have emails from a specific email address automatically uploaded to OneDrive. This doesn’t seem that hard to create but the part I’m having difficulties with is specifying a folder in my company’s shared OneDrive to upload to.
I’ve tried explain this to Zapier’s copilot but it only give me a a selection of few folders to upload to. I’m not sure where to go from here. Can anyone help with this?

The files created by Zap step 3 are temp files that expire after a short time. (e.g. 1 hour)
Try retesting each Zap action step again in order.
That’s a really good use case — automating email uploads to OneDrive can save a lot of manual effort, especially if you deal with frequent attachments or reports. The key is to make sure your trigger and action steps are clearly defined in Zapier.
You can start by setting Gmail (or Outlook) as your trigger app and use the “New Email” event filtered by the sender’s address. Then, for the action step, connect OneDrive and choose “Upload File” as your action. If your emails have attachments, you can map those directly to the upload field.
Also, adding a filter step between the trigger and action can prevent unwanted emails from being uploaded. That small adjustment keeps your OneDrive organized and ensures only relevant files get stored. It’s a neat setup once you’ve tested it a couple of times.
