Keeping your files organised in Google Drive while managing work in monday can get messy very fast — especially when every new item or status change needs its own folder.
To solve this, our Google Drive Integration app includes a ready-to-use automation template:
When a column changes → create a sub-folder inside a parent folder and automatically save the folder link back to the item.
This removes all the manual folder creation work and keeps everything perfectly structured.
What This Automation Does
When the selected column changes:
-
A new sub-folder is created in Google Drive
-
It is created inside your Parent Folder link
-
The folder is named using your Sub-Folder Name column
-
The new folder link is pasted back into a Sub-Folder Link column on the item
All of this happens automatically in real-time.
Common Use Cases
This automation is perfect for:
-
Client folders inside a main “Clients” directory -
Project folders inside a master “Projects” folder -
Video folders per content item -
Document folders per deal or task -
Finance folders per invoice or order
Any time each item needs its own Drive folder — this setup saves hours.
Why Teams Love This

No naming mistakes
-
All folders stay linked to the right items

Keeps monday and Google Drive perfectly in sync
