I am interested to learn of ways to integrate Salesforce with Google Drive. Is there a way to have Salesforce automatically create a new Google Drive folder with naming rules similar to how the Dropbox tool works. Is there a way to then drag and drop files into this folder in Salesforce, but the files actually are stored in Drive but just referenced in Salesforce? Specifically I would like the ability to put folders inside of folders... Any tools I should investigate?
@Salesforce.org System AdministratorsHello,
First, you can explore Salesforce’s built-in solution, Files Connect, which allows you to link external file systems like Google Drive. With Files Connect, you can browse, search, and attach Google Drive files to Salesforce records while keeping the files stored in Drive. However, it doesn’t support automatic folder creation or advanced nested folder structures.
If you have specific requirements, such as automating CSV data exchange between Salesforce and Google Drive, Skyvia could be a helpful option. Skyvia is a no-code integration platform that simplifies the import and export of CSV data. While it doesn’t support folder creation or direct file linking, it can automate data transfers, ensuring that updates in Salesforce are reflected in Google Drive files or vice versa.
Hope this helps!
