Google Drive + Foldr Integration
Google Drive is the storage half of Google Workspace. Use a Zapier Zap or Make scenario to mirror new Drive files into Foldr and get permanent short-link URLs without Drive's permissions gotchas.
How to Connect Google Drive to Foldr
Create a Zap
In Zapier, start a new Zap with Google Drive as the trigger (or action, depending on your flow).
Add Foldr as the next step
Search "Foldr" in Zapier's app picker and choose the action you want — Upload File, Create Short Link, Create Bio Page, or Submit Form.
Authenticate Foldr
Paste your Foldr API key (from foldr.space/developers) when Zapier prompts for authentication.
Map fields and turn the Zap on
Map the Google Drive data into Foldr's input fields, test once, then enable the Zap.
Common Use Cases
- Bridge Google Drive-hosted files to Foldr for cleaner public URLs
- Use Foldr short links + analytics on top of files living in Google Drive
- Mirror a Google Drive folder to Foldr on a schedule
- Replace Google Drive's preview pages with Foldr's direct links for embedding
Google Drive + Foldr FAQ
How do I connect Foldr to Google Drive?
You connect Foldr to Google Drive via Zapier. Full steps are listed above under "How to Connect". In short: create a Foldr API key, configure the Zapier integration pointed at https://foldr.space/api/v1/, and map Google Drive's data into Foldr's request body.
Do I need a paid Foldr plan to use Google Drive with Foldr?
The Foldr free tier supports basic uploads via the API with 7-day expiry. For integration use with Google Drive — higher rate limits, permanent storage, multiple API keys, and webhook subscriptions — Foldr Pro (from $5/mo) is recommended.
What Foldr features can I call from Google Drive?
From Google Drive you can invoke any Foldr action: uploading files (up to 2 GB each), creating short links, generating bio pages, creating hosted forms, and reading download analytics. See the Foldr API docs for the full endpoint list.
Is there an official Foldr app for Google Drive?
Not a first-party app — Foldr integrates with Google Drive through Zapier, which is usually a better fit because it doesn't require installing an extra app. If you'd rather have a native integration, let us know at foldr.space/contact.
