DriveSync keeps InDesign layouts intact while Google Docs keeps changing
An Adobe InDesign 2026 plugin that syncs text and tables from Google Docs, Sheets, and Drive files without re-keying copy or disturbing the layout.
Field notes
The plugin links a Google Doc or Sheet to an existing InDesign text frame and compares paragraph content rather than relying on position, so an inserted sentence does not shift every subsequent style. Its stated scope includes connected table cells and first-sync image import, while later text updates leave placed artwork alone. The homepage lists support for macOS and Windows, InDesign 2026, and Drive-hosted .docx, .docx, .xlsx, and .xls sources.
