The Google Drive integration adds PayPerFax to the Open with menu in Google Drive. You pick a file in Drive, and it opens in the PayPerFax form, ready to send. Price, payment, and delivery are the same as for a file you upload. More about the integration: Fax from Google Drive on payperfax.com.

Install

PayPerFax on Google Workspace Marketplace

Install the app for Google Drive
Install the app from the Marketplace. The first time you open a file with it, Google asks you to sign in and approve PayPerFax. PayPerFax never sees your Google password.

​
Files and limits

  • Types: PDF, DOC, DOCX, TIF, JPEG, PNG, and Markdown, as for an upload. See File Requirements.
  • Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides: sent as a PDF export of the file. Check the preview, because a spreadsheet can split across many pages.
  • Size: 10 MB at most for all files of the fax together.
  • Where it works: Google Drive in a browser. The integration is not in the Google Drive desktop app.

​
Access and privacy

  • PayPerFax asks Google for access only to the files you open with PayPerFax (the drive.file permission), and for your basic profile. It cannot list or read your other files.
  • The file is copied to PayPerFax for the fax. Like an uploaded file, it is deleted 30 days after the fax, or within 2 days if you do not send it. See Security and data.
To remove PayPerFax’s access, open myaccount.google.com/permissions, select PayPerFax, and remove access.

​
Troubleshooting

Install the app from the Marketplace link above with the same Google account you use in Drive. Then reload Drive.
Google can ask for approval again, for example in another browser or after you removed access. Approve PayPerFax to continue with the file you chose.
Export or save it as a PDF, compress it, or split it, then try again. See Common Issues.
