Create a Google Drive file request

Collect documents, photos, and videos from clients, guests, or colleagues in your chosen Drive folder. You connect your Google account; senders open your upload page, choose files, and upload in their browser.

Try one upload page free for 24 hours. A paid plan keeps it available after the trial.

If you’re trying to decide between Dropbox or WeTransfer but already pay for Google Drive storage, there’s no need to use another subscription model. SendToDrive worked exactly how I wanted it to. I’m a photographer and used it with a second shooter. I just sent him the link, and the files showed up directly in my folder. He didn’t use any of his own storage, and I didn’t have to download anything extra. It works seamlessly with my Google Workspace. Honestly, what a dream. I’m genuinely so happy I found this. I’ve already upgraded to the premium plan.

Founder story

Hey, I’m Ari

(the person who built SendToDrive)

During COVID, my mother, a senior teacher, suddenly had to teach from home.

She was not very comfortable with technology, but she still needed a simple way to receive files from her students. So everything went through WhatsApp.

At first, it felt practical. Then assignments kept coming every day: photos, PDFs, videos, and documents. Her phone storage filled up, and the phone started getting slow.

Finding one student’s work inside hundreds of chat messages became stressful. The tool that was supposed to help her teach was quietly making her day harder.

That problem at home made me realize this was not just my mother’s problem. Teachers, admins, communities, and small businesses all need a cleaner way to collect files from other people.

So I built SendToDrive: connect Google Drive, share an upload page, and receive files in the folder you choose.

Senders open the link in their browser and follow the page’s upload rules. Their files arrive in your Drive, ready for you to review.
