The integration of Google services is very strong, but not always the search giant provides the tools you need most. In the case of Google Drive, for example, would be a very useful option that mattered mail attachments from Gmail Drive straight to Google, but such a tool (even unofficial way) did not exist ... until now.
But you can Make your Gmail attachments go straight to the Google Drive by following method.
To enable the transmission is very simple. Follow the step by step below.
1 - In your Gmail, create a new filter with the "has: attachment" in the search field. Have him check all messages that arrive tagged GoogleDrive.
2 - Make a copy of this spreadsheet to your Google Drive (the link now opens with the option of making a copy). This is where is all the code needed to make this trick work.
3 - Open the copy of the worksheet and select the "Gmail (Click Here)" and then "Initialize". This will make them open the windows for permission to access your Gmail account and Google Drive. It will only work if you authorize.
4 - Then select the "Run" menu "Gmail (Click Here)." From then on, every 5 minutes, the script will run (see update below), to capture the messages in the specified tag and automatically pull the files attached to messages from Google Drive. The attached files in the folder will be specifically Gmail, so you do not confuse it with other files.
If you want you can change the tag of your filter to some other string, as GDrive or something. But if you do, need to remember to also change the tag on the worksheet where the script will search for messages.
One more tip: we do not advise you to check all messages with the tag attached with Google Drive, apanas those that arrives from now. Otherwise all attachments will begin to appear in Gmail folder and if you have some attachments and heavy and have downloaded the sync application on your computer, it can take plenty of bandwidth. Outside the limits of 5 GB can also be achieved quickly in this way.
