Google Drive

Connect Google Drive to store and reuse Drip Drop attachments and images in a Google account you authorize. This guide explains the authorization flow and verification steps.

  • Your team already keeps attachments and images in Google Drive.
  • You want to authorize an existing Google account instead of managing storage keys.
  • Confirm you can sign in to the Google account you want to connect.
  • Be ready to approve the Google authorization prompt in a popup window.
  • Confirm your role can create integrations. Without that permission, New Integration is not shown.
  1. Open Dashboard → Integrations → Storage.
  2. Select New Integration and choose Google Drive.
Choose Google Drive in the integration wizard.
  1. On the Connect step, review or change the Name before authorizing Google Drive.
  2. Select Connect Google Drive.
  3. In the Google authorization window, sign in to the Google account you want to use and leave the permission for specific Drive files enabled.
  4. Select Continue or Allow to return to Drip Drop. The wizard advances to Verify after authorization succeeds.

Google Picker lets you browse your Drive and select files one at a time. Drip Drop receives access only to files it creates or files you select in the Picker, not the rest of your Drive. New attachments and images saved through this integration are stored in the connected Google account.

  1. On the Verify step, select Check credentials.
  2. After the check succeeds, select Done.
  3. Confirm that the integration you named appears as Active on the Storage page.
  4. Open a message template, then select Attachments → Browse files → Connected storage.
  5. Choose the integration, select Open Google Drive, then select a file in Google Picker. The file attaches immediately.

Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drawings attach as PDF exports. Other native Google file types, such as Forms and Sites, are unavailable in Google Picker and cannot be attached.

Permission not granted

  • Allow popups for Drip Drop in your browser, then select Connect Google Drive again.
  • Sign in to the Google account you intend to connect before approving access.
  • If Google Drive access was not granted, connect again and leave “See, edit, create, and delete only the specific Google Drive files you use with this app” selected.

Integration is paused

  • On Integrations → Storage, find the paused Google Drive integration and select Edit.
  • Select Connect Google Drive, then authorize the same Google account. To use a different Google account, create a separate Google Drive integration.

File is unavailable

  • Confirm the connected Google account can still open the file in Drive.
  • Native Google types other than Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drawings cannot be attached and are hidden from the Picker.
  • This is expected. Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drawings are exported to PDF when attached.

Disconnect Google Drive

On Integrations → Storage, select the Google Drive row’s Disconnect action, review the impact, then select Disconnect. If it is the active storage location, switch Storage location to Platform storage or another active integration first. Drip Drop preserves the integration record, attachment references, history, and files in Google Drive while pausing dependent active or scheduled flows. Reconnect the same Google account to restore access, then review affected flows before resuming them.

Remove Google Integrations

Open Settings → Connections. Under Remove Integrations, select Remove Google integrations. This account-wide action covers Gmail and Google Drive. Review the affected integrations and preserved resources, switch Storage location first if required, then select Remove them. Your Google sign-in method remains linked.

  • Storage: choose and manage storage for Drip Drop attachments and images.
  • Message Templates: add stored files as attachments or use them as images in email designs.
