Elshad 14 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I recently read of a way and implemented how to download PDF files to my Google Drive in a folder and it automatically imported into an Evernote notebook. In my case I created a folder in my Google Drive called "Taxes", and when I download a file into this folder, it automatically imports into my Evernote "Taxes" notebook. It works great and I would like to add more Google Drive folders that will import but now can't find the directions to set it up. 1 Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 1,838 Posted April 5 Evernote Expert Share Posted April 5 Create Import Folders at location on your computer. They need not be in Google Drive. Create the folder(s) you require In Evernote settings connect these folders to the notebooks that you want to use. These links will only work when the PC is running. They will catch up as soon as you start the PC and launch Evernote. Link to comment

Elshad 14 Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 I have import folders; this is different. This is used in a PDF document received in email. I've attached progressive screenshots. If I select "Taxes" for example it goes directly into my "Taxes" notebook. Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 1,838 Posted April 14 Evernote Expert Share Posted April 14 You will have to have a conduit application to make this work. There's is not, to my knowledge, an automatic link from Google Drive to Evernote. It could be achieved with Zapier, IFTTT or, indeed, import folders. Link to comment
Mike P 1,818 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 If you have "Google drive for desktop" you can presumably make the local version of the folder sync with EN. It certainly works like that for Dropbox. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 9,812 Posted April 14 Level 5* Share Posted April 14 Hi. You presumably set up some kind of third-party automation for the original - a quick web search suggests several options including IFTTT and Zapier - https://zapier.com/apps/evernote/integrations/google-drive/1179/add-new-google-drive-files-to-evernote forinstance...

Solution macfixer 375 Posted April 14 Solution Share Posted April 14 Something to consider: You can keep your PDFs where they are in Google Drive, and just connect them to Evernote.https://evernote.com/google-drive 1 Link to comment

Level 5 PinkElephant 5,525 Posted April 15 Level 5 Share Posted April 15 Just keep in mind this method has a downside as well: If the pdf is (re-)moved, the note will become content- and likely worth-less. So all this linking business makes your Google Drive quite static, if you want to avoid data loss. Link to comment

This is used in a PDF document received in email. The video explains how to share an email attachment with a Google Drive folder, which is mirrored with a folder on your hard drive, which is, as most have said on this thread already, an Import Folder for a specific notebook. It seems a long round-about way to do this, but if it works for you... Link to comment
