Hi everyone! My name is Emily and I am a designer for a marketing and advertising agency. My coworkers and I use Figma on a constant basis for brainstorming, prototype development, etc. and we love it.


As an agency we all use Google Drive to store our files, and have the Google Drive for desktop app installed on our Macs — we call it our “server”. The server is live and shared with everyone at the agency. This is how we share our files with one another. It is a pretty well-oiled machine, except for when it comes to Figma files. There doesn’t seem to be a way that we can save live Figma files onto our server, so we have to workaround it by sharing links with one another through a different project management platform.


We would love a way to solve this to make things more seamless. I was wondering if anyone knows of any third-party plugins that would allow us to embed live Figma files onto our Google Drive server or desktop? Or if you know if this will be a feature Figma will allow in the future?


Thanks so much.
