How it works

  1. 1Connect your Google Drive account via OAuth and select the destination folder for exports.
  2. 2Choose what to save: the original document, the extracted JSON, a formatted CSV, or all three.
  3. 3Every completed extraction automatically uploads the selected files to your Drive folder, named and organized consistently.

Build a structured document archive without manual effort

Most teams process hundreds of documents per month — invoices, contracts, identity documents, statements. Keeping a well-organized archive means naming files consistently, moving them to the right folder, and storing the extracted data alongside the original. Doing that manually is error-prone and slow.

The DocPeel × Google Drive integration automates the entire archiving step. After extraction, DocPeel uploads the original file and the structured data export to your specified folder, using a consistent naming convention based on document metadata like date, vendor name, or document type.

Export formats: JSON, CSV, and the original file

For each completed extraction you can choose to upload the extracted JSON (the full structured output), a flat CSV with one row per document, the original uploaded file, or any combination of the three.

Teams that need both a human-readable archive and a machine-readable export often choose to upload all three — the original PDF for reference, a JSON for downstream processing, and a CSV for spreadsheet users.

Folder organization and naming rules

DocPeel supports dynamic folder paths so files are organized automatically. Use variables like {{year}}, {{month}}, {{vendor}}, and {{document_type}} in your folder path template to create nested folder structures automatically — for example: Invoices/2026/April/Acme Corp.

This makes your Drive archive fully searchable by metadata without any manual file management.

Frequently asked questions

Does DocPeel overwrite existing files in Drive?
No. DocPeel creates new files with unique names for each extraction. Existing files are never modified.
Can I set different Drive folders for different parsers?
Yes. Each parser in DocPeel has its own integration settings, so you can send different document types to different Drive folders.
