How do I fax a file from Google Drive or Gmail?
Download the file or email as a PDF, then upload that PDF at app.ohfax.com and pay $2.00 to fax it to a US or Canadian number; Oh Fax does not connect to Google Drive or Gmail directly.

The short answer
Oh Fax takes a PDF upload. It has no Google Drive or Gmail integration and doesn't ask for access to your Google account to send a fax.
- Price: $2.00 per fax by card, for a PDF of up to 100 pages and 25 MB. No account and no subscription.
- Where: fax numbers in the US and Canada only.
- Send-only: Oh Fax sends faxes. It cannot receive faxes or give you a fax number.
- Not for patient data: do not use Oh Fax for protected health information (PHI).
- Refund: if the fax cannot be delivered, you get a full refund and the reason.
Steps
- In Google Drive, open the file and choose File › Download › PDF document. For a Gmail message, open it, choose Print, and save as PDF; for an attachment, download it.
- Open app.ohfax.com and choose the PDF. On a phone, the file picker may also let you pick a file from Google Drive directly.
- Enter the US or Canadian fax number.
- Pay $2.00 by card.
- Check the status page for delivery and save the receipt.
