If your documents live in Google Drive, faxing them takes one extra step: export the file as a PDF, then upload it to usfax.com and send it from your browser. usfax.com does not connect to Google Drive directly. Google Docs, Google Sheets, PDFs, and image files all export cleanly to PDF and are converted for fax transmission on upload.
