Setup is a single mailbox rule. 0 emails saved and counting [Start Saving Emails](https://quicktion.io/login)[Get Forwarding Address](https://quicktion.io/login) Free plan includes 25 emails/month.

Notion Mail was Gmail-only and is being shut down in September 2026 anyway. Notion Calendar still doesn't support Microsoft 365 calendars. Most third-party tools built in the last few years went Gmail-first and never came back for Outlook. Quicktion is email-client agnostic. It's just an email address on our side — you forward (or auto-forward via Outlook rules) any message to your dedicated Quicktion address, and it lands as a PDF in a folder of its own. Exchange, Microsoft 365, Outlook.com personal, Outlook for Mac, Outlook for iOS — all work the same way because forwarding is native to every Outlook variant. For hands-off workflows, Outlook's built-in mailbox rules can auto-forward matching messages based on sender, subject, folder, or any condition Outlook supports. Set a rule once and every matching email arrives in your destination automatically. If you're on Microsoft 365 with corporate IT, Quicktion uses standard email forwarding (no API integration, no OAuth into your Microsoft tenant), so there's nothing for your IT admin to block or approve beyond allowing outbound mail to in.quicktion.io. Outlook has no path into Google Drive at all. Microsoft's own tooling files things in OneDrive and SharePoint, Power Automate has no Drive-from-Outlook action worth the setup, and printing a message to PDF leaves you renaming files by hand and downloading attachments one at a time. A mailbox rule pointed at a Quicktion address covers it: the message arrives, and a folder shows up in Drive with the PDF, the raw HTML and the attachments in it. Nothing to install in Outlook and nothing for IT to approve in Azure AD. ## From Outlook to Google Drive in three steps Setup takes about two minutes. Nothing to install beyond the steps below. 1 ### Connect your destination account Sign in with Google, connect the destination you want emails to land in, and pick the specific database, base, spreadsheet, folder, team or board to target. 2 ### Get a dedicated forwarding address Each destination gets its own address like clients-x7k2m@in.quicktion.io. Any email sent there is automatically saved as a structured row with typed fields and attachments. 3 ### Auto-forward matching emails via an Outlook mailbox rule In Outlook, go to Settings → Mail → Rules → Add new rule, pick a condition (sender contains, subject contains, specific folder, etc.), and set the action to "Forward to" the Quicktion address. Microsoft 365, Exchange Online and Outlook.com all support this natively. ## What people save to Google Drive Each destination points at one Drive folder and files every email into its own subfolder there. Use separate destinations for receipts, contracts and client work. ### Receipts and invoices A PDF per purchase, filed by date Forward receipts and invoices and each one becomes a dated folder with the PDF and any attached invoice inside. At tax time you hand over a Drive folder instead of scrolling back through a year of email. ### Contracts and signed paperwork The document and the email that sent it Signed agreements usually arrive as an attachment with the terms discussed in the message above it. Both land in the same folder, so a year later you still have the context, not just the file. ### Attachment filing Every attachment in Drive, automatically Set a filter for the senders who mail you files and stop downloading them by hand. Attachments keep their original names, and the email they came with is right there as a PDF. ### Client and project records A shareable paper trail per project Point a destination at a project folder and forward the correspondence that matters. Drive handles sharing, so a colleague or client can be given the folder without being given your inbox. ## What lands in Google Drive Every email from Outlook becomes a PDF in its own Drive folder, with the attachments beside it. Auto-forward from any Outlook account via a native mailbox rule and each message is filed in Google Drive as a PDF, with the raw HTML and the attachments in the same folder. It's the one Microsoft-to-Google path that needs no Azure AD app registration and no Power Automate flow to babysit. The email is rendered to a PDF you can open, forward or hand to an accountant, with a header block carrying the sender, recipients, date and subject. One folder per email holds the PDF, the original HTML and every attachment under its real filename. Folder names follow a pattern you choose. The default is {date}\_{subject}, and {sender} and {domain} are available too, so folders sort the way you file things. Attachments always come along. Signature and logo images stay inside the PDF instead of littering the folder with tracking pixels. Nothing to map. A Drive destination is a folder and a name pattern, and that's the whole configuration. ## Quicktion vs the alternatives for Outlook users How we stack up against other ways to get Outlook emails into Google Drive.
