How To Automate Sending Customer Files To Google Drive

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

Request to automate sending customer-uploaded images from a Shopify POD (print-on-demand) store directly to Google Drive so artists can access them.

Suggestions:

  • Browse Shopify App Store for “Image Upload” tools or custom form builders with file-upload fields that collect customer files. No specific app was named or confirmed to auto-send to Google Drive.

Alternatives offered:

  • Consider professional guidance to choose/setup cloud storage (general cloud consultancy suggested; not Google Drive–specific).
  • Use Approval Studio’s Shopify integration: customer files are uploaded to an Approval Studio project, preserving quality; artists can download and later obtain customer design approvals—this replaces Google Drive rather than integrating with it.

Status and open points:

  • No concrete, direct Google Drive integration solution was identified in the thread.
  • Key unanswered question: which Shopify app can automatically forward customer-uploaded files to Google Drive.
  • Discussion remains open without a confirmed app or implementation steps.

I run a personalised POD store and want an app that can collect (or send) a customer image directly to a google drive where it can be picked up by our artists.

Does anyone know a solution for this?

Thanks!

Hey @Deniz2 ,

I’d take a look at either “Image Upload” apps, or apps able to create custom forms or custom customer forms with “upload file” options.

I think you should be able to find one that suits your needs if you browse a bit in the Shopify App Store https://apps.shopify.com/

I hope that your store will open successfully and will bring you profit. My brother also recently opened his small online store related to photo printing. But for a very long time, he couldn’t find good cloud storage to store information from both customers and store information there. He was advised by Technology Consultancy and took advantage of their services. It greatly facilitated the work in his store. So I recommend that you try to make cloud storage convenient.

Hi, @Deniz2 !

Is Google Drive the only viable option? If you are open to a slightly different approach, Approval Studio may help! It has a file uploader option that automatically sends the image that the customer uploaded in the shop as a reference file to the Approval Studio project. Then, artists can download it from there and use it however they like, with no quality reduction. And later you can even let your customers approve the design before it gets sent to them)
