Save Gmail Attachments to Google Drive and Log in Sheets
Invoices, supplier price lists and packing slips arrive as email attachments and end up scattered across inboxes. This workflow saves each attachment from a matching Gmail email to a Google Drive folder and adds a row to Google Sheets with the sender, subject, date and file link, so every file is stored and easy to find.

FAQs
Can I only save attachments from certain senders?
Yes. Narrow the trigger with a Gmail search or label, for example only emails from your suppliers or with invoice in the subject.
What if an email has several attachments?
Add a Loop step before saving so each attachment is saved to Drive and logged as its own row.
Does it work with emails that arrived before I turned it on?
No. It handles new emails only. Older attachments need to be moved to Drive once by hand.
