Upload Canva Designs to Google Drive

You can upload a Canva design to Google Drive in two ways: download it to your computer and then upload it to Google Drive, or upload directly from Canva. Choose the option that works best for you.

Method 1: Manual Upload of Canva to Google Drive

Here’s how to first download your Canva designs to your computer and then manually upload them to Google Drive:

1. Download the Canva Design to Your Device

With your Canva design already open, click the “Share” button at the top-right corner. Choose “Download” and select your preferred file type (PNG, JPG, PDF). Save the file to your computer by clicking “Download.”

2. Open Google Drive in a Web Browser

In a new tab, go to Google Drive and sign in to your Google account (if you aren’t already signed in). This will let you save the image you made in Canva to your cloud storage.

3. Upload the Canva File to Google Drive

To upload your Canva file in Google Drive, click the “New” button on the left-hand side. Then, select “File upload” and browse for the Canva file you saved earlier and click “Open” to upload it.

4. Verify Upload to Google Drive

A status bar will appear in the lower right corner of your Google Drive window, showing the progress. Once the upload is complete, your Canva design will be available in your Google Drive.

Method 2: Upload Canva Design Directly to Google Drive

Follow these steps to link your Google Drive account to Canva and save designs directly without downloading:

1. Open the Canva Design

Make sure you have your Canva design open and ready for sharing. This will be the design you want to upload directly to Google Drive.

2. Access the Share Menu

Click the “Share” button at the top-right corner of the screen. Then, select “See all” to view additional sharing options.

3. Upload Directly to Google Drive

Under the “Save” section, select “Google Drive.” This option sends your design directly to your Google Drive without needing to download it first.
