Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Drive and OneDrive Integration

To start sending files from Google Drive to OneDrive, you’ll first need to set up Pabbly Connect. This platform serves as the central hub for automating the integration between these applications. Begin by visiting the Pabbly Connect landing page and signing up for a free account. Once you have your account, log in to access the dashboard.

From the dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You can name your workflow something like ‘Google Drive to Microsoft OneDrive’. This will help you easily identify the automation later. After naming your workflow, click ‘Create’ to proceed to the workflow setup page.

Connecting Google Drive as the Trigger Application

In this step, you will set Google Drive as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. The trigger event will be set to detect when a new file is uploaded to a specific folder in Google Drive. Search for ‘Google Drive’ in the trigger selection.

• Select the trigger event: ‘New File in a Specific Folder’.
• Connect your Google Drive account by clicking on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Google Drive.

Once connected, select the folder you want to monitor for new files. Make sure the folder is shared with the appropriate permissions to allow Pabbly Connect to access it. After selecting the folder, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to fetch the details of the most recent file uploaded.

Configuring OneDrive as the Action Application

Now that Google Drive is set as the trigger, you will configure OneDrive as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Search for ‘Microsoft OneDrive’ in the action application selection and choose it.

• Select the action event: ‘Upload a File’.
• Click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’ to link your Microsoft OneDrive account.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your OneDrive account.

After connecting, choose the folder in OneDrive where you want the files to be uploaded. Map the relevant data from the Google Drive trigger, such as the file name and URL, to ensure the file is uploaded correctly. Once all fields are mapped, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the integration.

Testing the Integration Between Google Drive and OneDrive

With both applications connected, it’s time to test the integration in Pabbly Connect. After mapping the necessary fields from Google Drive to OneDrive, initiate a test by clicking on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will attempt to upload the most recent file from Google Drive to OneDrive.

Check your OneDrive folder to see if the file has been uploaded successfully. If the test is successful, you will see the file in the designated OneDrive folder. This step confirms that the integration is functioning as intended and will continue to work automatically in the background.

Finalizing Your Automation Workflow with Pabbly Connect

After successfully testing the integration, your automation workflow in Pabbly Connect is complete. This workflow will check your specified Google Drive folder every 10 minutes for new files. Any new file uploaded will be automatically sent to your OneDrive account without any manual intervention.

Remember, once the workflow is set up, you do not need to take any further actions. Pabbly Connect will handle the automation seamlessly, ensuring your files are always backed up to OneDrive. You can also clone this workflow if you want to use it for other folders or accounts.
