Google Drive Exports -- Send Your Reports Straight to Your Drive
November 9, 2026
Type: New Feature
Overview
Your report exports can now be saved to your own Google Drive automatically. Connect Google Drive once, tick one box when you export, and the file lands in a SellerLegend Reports folder in your Drive, ready to open, share or use in Google Sheets. This works for one-off exports and for scheduled exports, where every run is sent to Drive. The export is still available to download in SellerLegend as before.
What's New
Connect Your Google Drive
- A new Google Drive section on the Security tab of Account Settings lets you connect or disconnect your Google account.
- Your profile menu shows whether Google Drive is Connected or Not Connected, and which Google account is in use.
- SellerLegend asks only for access to the files it creates. It can't see or change anything else in your Drive.
Send Any Export to Drive
- The export window on your reports has a new option: Also send to my Google Drive. Tick it for a one-off export, or together with Repeat This Export Periodically? to send every scheduled run to Drive.
- The same option appears when you export the Profit & Loss report and in Bulk Data Export.
- Exports that start with a single click, such as Other Operating Expenses, Cash Flow, VAT, Settlement Period and Notes, now open a small Export Settings window with the Drive option and an Export button. Close the window to cancel.
- SellerLegend remembers your last choice in your browser, so the box is already ticked next time if you used it before.
- Each completed export is uploaded to a SellerLegend Reports folder in your Drive. SellerLegend creates the folder the first time.
A Drive Link in Your Report Email
- The "report ready" email now includes an Also saved to your Google Drive link that opens the file.
- If an upload doesn't go through, the email tells you why and what to do:
- Access was revoked or no connected account was found -- reconnect Google Drive in Account Settings.
- A temporary error -- for a scheduled export, nothing to do: the next run tries again. For a one-off export, request it again.
How to Use
- Click your profile name in the top-right corner and choose Account Settings.
- Open the Security tab and click Connect Google Drive in the Google Drive section.
- Pick your Google account and approve access. Keep the Drive permission ticked, or SellerLegend can't upload your files. You return to Account Settings with a confirmation message.
- Open any report and click Export.
- Tick Also send to my Google Drive.
- To send every run to Drive, also tick Repeat This Export Periodically? and set the schedule as usual.
- Start the export.
If you haven't connected Google Drive yet, the export window shows a Connect your Google Drive link instead. It opens in a new tab. Once you've connected and come back, the Drive option appears without reopening the window.
Benefits
- No more downloading and re-uploading -- reports arrive in Drive on their own, whether you export once or on a schedule.
- Easy to share -- give your accountant, VA or team access to the SellerLegend Reports folder instead of forwarding files.
- Ready for spreadsheets -- open each report straight in Google Sheets.
- Your files, your Drive -- SellerLegend only touches the files it creates for you.
Impact
- No action is required. Exports and existing schedules work exactly as before, without Drive uploads, until you tick the option.
- Drive delivery for a schedule is chosen when the schedule is created. To send an existing scheduled report to Drive, create a new schedule with the option ticked and delete the old one.
- Disconnecting Google Drive stops Drive uploads on all your schedules, and reconnecting later doesn't turn them back on. Create the schedules again to resume.
- Each user connects their own Google Drive. Reports exported or scheduled by a team member go to that team member's Drive.
