[Easy Setup] How to Automatically Sync Notion Data with Google Drive

When there are additions or changes to Notion data, there might be instances where the corresponding Google Drive folders or file data also need to be updated. For example, if there are changes in dates or titles, the Google Drive files or folders must be updated; otherwise, they won't be linked to the Notion data, making it unclear which files are associated with which data.

If you want to avoid such situations as much as possible, it's recommended to integrate Notion with Google Drive! By utilizing API-based app integration, you can automatically link Notion data to Google Drive!

Hearing about API integration might sound daunting, but with Yoom, which allows app integration without programming, you don't need specialized knowledge. We provide a step-by-step guide with images on how anyone can easily integrate apps, so take this opportunity to experience automation!

For those who want to try it quickly

By using Yoom, you can easily integrate Notion and Google Drive without any code. Yoom offers pre-prepared templates for integrating Notion and Google Drive, so you can achieve integration immediately just by signing up, even without API knowledge.
