Introduction

In today’s cloud-first world, data isn’t sitting in one place — it’s scattered across platforms, spreadsheets, and shared drives.

And while Google Drive has become a go-to for storing business-critical data, ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes often struggle to integrate with it effectively.

That’s where Infometry’s Google Drive Connector for Informatica IDMC comes in — a certified, no-code solution to streamline file integration and power your pipelines like never before.


The Challenge with Google Drive in ETL Workflows

Without a native connector, integrating files from Google Drive into your ETL pipelines means:

  • Manual uploads/downloads
  • File version mismatches
  • Siloed or inconsistent data
  • Risk of human error and delays

This doesn’t just slow you down — it limits the accuracy and agility of your business intelligence.


The Solution: Infometry’s Google Drive Connector for IDMC

Infometry’s connector is 100% Informatica Certified and built specifically for IDMC (Intelligent Data Management Cloud).

It enables seamless, automated communication between Google Drive and IDMC pipelines — with zero coding required.

With this connector, Google Drive becomes a native source and target in your ETL architecture.
