Hey,
Set up a simple flow
- Gmail reader
- Gmail attachment downloader
- Google drive file writer
When I run it, I se the pdf in the right sidebar, but they do not appear in the Google Drive folder. Why not?
Be well,
D
Hey @Donna,
That setup should definitely work! Just to clarify — are you using a separate node specifically for the Gmail attachment downloader? If so, that’s not actually needed.
You can directly connect the output from the Gmail Reader (the “file attachments” output) to the Google Drive File Writer. This way, the flow uses the file object directly and uploads it to Drive without requiring any extra step.
Also if any individual email contains multiple attachments, note that the Gmail node’s output will contain all the file objects as a comma-separated list. In that case, you can insert a Split Text node to split them into individual file paths before passing them into the Drive File Writer — this ensures each attachment uploads correctly.
Let me know if that makes sense.

Thanks for reply.
But is it also possible to store files in my proposed way (via The Google Attachment Download node?)
