# Upload to Google Drive

## Description

The **Upload to Google Drive** activity uploads one or more files from your workflow to a designated directory in a connected Google Drive account. This activity can be used to automatically store reports, exports, logs, or any files generated or processed in the workflow.

Files are transferred securely using a pre-configured OAuth connection. The uploaded files can also return public or shareable links that allow downstream activities or users to access them directly from Google Drive.

> **Use case**:  
> After generating daily sales summaries as CSVs, use this activity to automatically upload them to a shared Google Drive folder for review by the finance team.
