Nowadays, people like to store their important data on cloud drives and Google Drive is absolutely an outstanding cloud that wins a lot of fame. Of course, you can copy the email to Google Drive. There are 3 benefits of doing so.
This section will tell you 3 ways to migrate emails to Google Drive and they are specifically designed for moving Gmail emails. You can use the "Save to Google Drive" icon, Gmail Print, or Google Takeout to copy Gmail to Google Drive on your computer or iPhone.
If you only want to save a single email to Google Drive and hope the email can be converted into a PDF file, using the "Save to Google Drive" icon is suitable for you.
Step 1: Enter Gmail and log in to your Gmail account.
Step 2: Open an email that you’d like to move, tap the 3-dots icon, and choose “Print”. Or, you can click the printer-shaped icon to directly enter the print interface.
Step 3: Tap the box beside “Destination” and choose “Save to Google Drive”. If you don’t find “Save to Google Drive”, you can click “See more …” and see if it is in the menu. Finally, click “Print” and you finish the operations to save Gmail to Google Drive.

Step 3: Select “Add to Drive” and adjust the Frequency or File type & size in terms of your needs. Finally, tap “Create export” and then all of your Gmail emails will be copied to Google Drive through Google Takeout.
