When Nitro Pro 10 was released, "the cloud" meant Dropbox and Box. Google Drive was still finding its enterprise footing. Consequently, Nitro Pro 10 features a "Send to FTP," "Send to SharePoint," and a rudimentary "Nitro Cloud" button, but there is no "Save to Google Drive" button inside the File menu.
Open Nitro Pro 10. Go to File > Preferences > Save Settings . Set your default "Save As" folder to the Google Drive folder (e.g., G:\My Drive\PDFs ).
Set up your Google Drive folder. Map it in Nitro Pro 10. Never click "Download" and "Upload" again.

A: No. Nitro Pro 10 saves using standard PDF/A formats. Google Drive is a dumb storage bucket; it does not re-compress or alter PDFs.
But in 2023 and beyond, a burning question remains for legacy software users: Can you integrate Nitro Pro 10 with Google Drive?
A: Yes! This is a superpower of Nitro Pro 10. Open the PDF, go to File > Save As > Optimized PDF . Choose "Smaller File Size." Save to your Drive sync folder. You can reduce a 50MB scan to 2MB without noticeable quality loss.
