Google Drive integration
Read, write, and organize Google Drive files from your workflows — move documents in and out automatically instead of by hand.
What the Google Drive integration does
Google Drive is where teams keep the documents they actually work with. The OctaviaFlow Google Drive integration connects that content to your workflows — read files to process them, and write files back so results land where people can find them.
Download a file to drive a workflow, list a folder to process many, or upload output back to Drive as the last step of a pipeline. A file can feed an AI step, a database, or a notification — or collect the results of a pipeline for review.
Connect once with Google OAuth; OctaviaFlow accesses only the files you grant.
What you can do
Read & download files
Pull a file from Drive into a workflow — a document to extract, a PDF to parse, or an export to process.
Write & upload files
Write output back to Drive as the result of a workflow — a report, a generated document, or a processed file.
List and organize
Enumerate a folder to process many files, and place results in the right folder for your team.
Use in any workflow
Feed a database, an AI step, or a notification from a Drive file — and write results back to Drive — in one pipeline.
Multi-step automations
Combine Drive with conditions, loops, transforms, AI steps, and other connectors to model real document workflows.
Secure OAuth
Authorize once with Google OAuth. Tokens are stored encrypted and refreshed automatically.

Generate a report in a workflow and upload it to a shared Drive folder on a schedule.
Process a folder of files
List an intake folder, process each new file, and move it to a done folder with the results routed onward.
Back up data as files
Export records to files and store them in Drive for archival and sharing.
Sync documents to other systems
Move files between Drive and another store, or push document data into a CRM or database.
Collaborative outputs
Write pipeline results to a Drive file so the team can review them in a familiar place.
Google Drive integration FAQ
Can OctaviaFlow read files from and write files to Google Drive?
Yes. Read actions download files into a workflow and write actions upload results, so Drive can be a source, a destination, or both.
Can it process a whole folder?
Yes. List a folder and loop over the files, processing each one and routing its results.
What file types are supported?
Any file. Documents and PDFs can be read and extracted (great with an AI step); other files can be moved as-is.
Do I need to share the files or paste a key?
No key to paste — you authorize once with Google OAuth, and the connector accesses only the files you grant it.
Is my Google data secure?
The connector authorizes with Google OAuth, requests only the scopes it needs, and stores tokens encrypted. See our privacy policy for details.
