Why Direct Uploads from Google Drive Don’t Work
OnlineCertifiedMail's system does not support direct imports from cloud-based platforms like Google Drive or Google Docs, as we do require PDFs. Attempting to upload directly from a cloud link will result in an error.
How to Save Files to Your Computer
For PDF Files:
- Open the file in Google Drive.
- Click on the three-dot menu (or File menu).
- Select Download.
- Save the file to your computer in PDF format.
Uploading your PDF
Once the file is saved locally:
- Log in to your account and click Send A Letter at the top.
- Click Choose File under the Select a PDF section.
- Select the file from your computer.
- Continue with your job setup as usual.
This ensures compatibility and smooth processing of your files.
