Key features

Send Without Leaving Drive

Right-click any supported file and send it as a fax in seconds

Secure OAuth Authorization

Connect your Google Drive once through secure OAuth. Your files stay private.

Pay Only on Success

Like all PayPerFax services, you only pay when your fax transmits successfully

​
How it works

First time only: You’ll authorize PayPerFax to access your Google Drive files through a secure OAuth connection. This one-time authorization takes seconds and ensures your files remain private.
1

Right-click and open with PayPerFax

Navigate to any folder in Google Drive containing a PDF, DOC, DOCX, JPG, or TIF file. Right-click the file you want to fax, select “Open with,” then choose “PayPerFax”.
2

Enter fax number and preview

You’re redirected to PayPerFax where you enter the destination fax number and preview your fax. The preview shows exactly what will be sent and the guaranteed price.
3

Pay and send

Complete payment at $2.00 for up to 3 pages. Once paid, your fax transmits immediately and you receive email confirmation with a PDF copy.
