The problem it solves

You save files to a shared drive but never remember to note them anywhere else. When someone asks what's been uploaded, you're stuck digging through folders instead of checking one list.

Who it fits

A team or business that tracks incoming files in Notion for visibility or record-keeping.

How it works

  1. A new file is uploaded to a specified Google Drive folder
  2. The system detects the upload
  3. A new page is created in your Notion database with the file details
What you get

Drive files logged into Notion automatically

Every file added to your Google Drive folder shows up as a new page in Notion, keeping your records in sync.

What you get

An up-to-date Notion database page for every file added to the folder.

What you need

A Google account and a Notion account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
