Google Drive File Integration Syncing

Hi,

In our organization we have been using google sheets to upload files into Monday.com and it has been very useful for us to see high overview dashboards on the data.

Domo Bi has an ability to sync excel files and google sheet files into their system and update the data in a dashboard format.

I was wondering if Monday.com has thought of this function or is there a way for developers to add this as a widget or integration to be able to Sync Files from Google Drive and have it auto-refresh data uploads into monday.com boards.

Right now every group is uploaded is a month and year and every time we manually update it we use that for the dashboards. But if we didn’t have to manually upload the file if there was an integration to Sync the files and select when like every day at 9am or every 30 minutes would be invaluable I think to a lot of organizations already utilizing monday.com with excel file data.

Thoughts???

Thanks,
James

Hey there! With DriveSync integration, you can easily connect your board items and files to Google Drive.
Whenever you create a new item, DriveSync will automatically create a folder for it in Google Drive. Plus, it will make sure that the files from your items get copied into their respective Google Drive folders too. Super convenient!

But one crucial Feature is missing with your plugin, so the way we create Folders is by adding Todays date followed by the Item Name, but with your plugin these is no option to add any custom name of the Folder, its always a Item name and when we are editing the folder name manually, the previous link is not working anymore. Any workaround for that?

Hi James,

Thank you for sharing your experience and insights! It’s great to hear how the Google Sheets integration has been beneficial for your organization’s workflow and dashboard needs.

Regarding your suggestion, at NewAge, we’re continuously exploring ways to enhance the Monday.com experience for users like you. Your idea aligns well with our goals of providing valuable integrations to streamline workflows.

We’re considering creating a 2-way sync between Monday.com and Google Sheets through our app. This feature would allow seamless syncing of Google Sheets to Monday.com boards, with the option for automatic data refreshes at specified intervals. Ensuring that updates made in Google Sheets are reflected in the Monday board and vice versa.

Your feedback is invaluable to us as we work to develop solutions that meet the needs of Monday.com users. If you have any more thoughts or suggestions, please feel free to share them with us!
