How can i save mails to google drive
There are a few ways to save emails to Google Drive:
Method 1: Using Gmail's built-in feature
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
- Go to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
- Click on "Create a new filter."
- Enter a search query to filter the emails you want to save (e.g., "from:[email protected]").
- Click "Create filter."
- Select "Apply the label" and choose a label (e.g., "To Google Drive").
- Click "Also apply filter to [X] matching conversations."
- Go to the "Labels" tab and click on the label you just created.
- Click on the three vertical dots next to the label and select "Export to Google Drive."
Method 2: Using a third-party add-on
- Install a third-party add-on like "Gmail Drive" or "Email to Google Drive" from the Chrome Web Store.
- Follow the add-on's instructions to set up the integration.
- Once set up, you can use the add-on to save emails to Google Drive by clicking on the add-on's icon in your browser toolbar.
Method 3: Using a script
- Create a new script in Google Apps Script by going to script.google.com and clicking on "Create."
- In the script editor, paste the following code:
function saveEmailToGoogleDrive() { var label = "To Google Drive"; var folder = "Google Drive"; var threads = GmailApp.search("label:" + label); for (var i = 0; i < threads.length; i++) { var thread = threads[i]; var messages = thread.getMessages(); for (var j = 0; j < messages.length; j++) { var message = messages[j]; var attachment = message.getAttachments()[0]; var file = DriveApp.createFile(attachment); file.setName(attachment.getName()); file.setDescription("Email attachment from " + message.getFrom()); } } }
- Save the script and give it a name (e.g., "Save Email to Google Drive").
- Go to the "Triggers" tab and set up a trigger to run the script at a specific interval (e.g., every hour).
- Once the script runs, it will save the emails to Google Drive.
Note: Make sure you have the necessary permissions and credentials set up to access your Google Drive account.
