You can use Google Drive as an affordable system for managing documents. When a Permission Form is signed, a Leave Approval workflow completes, or a Purchase Order is received, you want to save the documents somewhere. Many companies still save them in email folders as attachments or manually drop them into a shared network drive. With  you can automatically upload them to Google Drive.

Info
  • If you leave the PDF Name property blank, uses the form/workflow name as the pdf file name. The pdf may not generate if the Form Name contains special characters. To avoid any issues, name your form/workflows using characters that are suitable for filenames and explicitly set the pdf name in the form/workflow using the same standard. Following the POSIX filename standard (A–Z a–z 0–9 . _ - ) will ensure it works. 
  • If a form does not reach the specified folder in your Google Drive successfully, notifies the tenant admin of the failure via an email. If a workflow does not reach the specified folder in your Google drive successfully, the workflow administrator(s) - if configured - and the tenant admin receive the email.
