PARSER GUIDES
Exporting to Google Drive
Integrations
Save each processed document's original file to My Drive or a Shared Drive
Send each processed document's original file to a folder in My Drive or a Shared Drive automatically.
Before you start
You need a Google account with permission to add files to the destination folder. Files must be available in PARSER, nonempty, and no larger than 100 MB.
Add Google Drive export
1. Open your parser and go to Settings -> Integrations.
2. Under Direct exports, click Add next to Export to Google Drive.
3. Expand Export to Google Drive under Added integrations.
Connect Google Drive
Click Connect Google Drive, sign in, and approve the connection. If you previously connected Google Drive for an import, you can select the same account.
Select a drive and folder
Select My Drive or an available Shared Drive. Browse its folders, open the destination, and click Select this folder. Click Test access to confirm that PARSER can add files there.
The access test is read-only and does not upload a test file.
Configure the filename
Enter the filename PARSER should use. The default {{original_filename}} token keeps the source document's name. You can add literal text, for example processed-{{original_filename}}.
Filenames cannot contain slashes, control characters, or path traversal text. PARSER rejects invalid names instead of changing them.
Choose duplicate behavior
- Leave Replace an existing file off to preserve existing files. Google Drive creates another file with the requested name.
- Turn it on to update one file with the exact same name in the selected folder. If several files have that exact name, PARSER stops before uploading so it cannot replace the wrong file.
Click Save configuration.
Check the result
Process a test document, then open the selected Google Drive folder. The original document file should appear with the configured name.
If the parser uses review stages, PARSER waits for final approval. Without review stages, the file is exported after processing.
Reprocessing a document after a successful export does not create another automatic export.
If the file does not appear
- Confirm that the document finished processing or received final approval.
- Expand the integration and confirm that it shows Configured.
- Click Test access again.
- Reconnect Google Drive if PARSER reports an expired connection.
- Confirm that the selected Shared Drive still allows you to add files.
- Check that the original file is available and no larger than 100 MB.
