A Google Space connection synchronizes one selected folder into the current space. An Owner or Admin must complete the authorization and folder selection. In a space whose datacenter cannot reach Google's services, the Google Space connector is shown disabled with the reason instead of offering this flow.
Authorize and choose the folder
- Open Settings > Connectors and add Google Space.
- Google opens in the same tab. Complete the consent there; Google sends you back to Evane with the same dialog open on the folder step.
- Choose one folder from My Drive, Shared with me, or Shared drives. If it is not listed, paste a Google Drive folder URL or folder ID.
- Confirm the selection. Evane saves the folder binding and queues synchronization.
The manual value must identify a folder that the authorized Google account can read. A file URL, unknown ID, revoked grant, or temporary Google error produces a specific error instead of silently selecting another folder.
Change or resynchronize the source
Use the connected tile's folder action to replace the selected folder. A new selection controls later synchronization; it does not move or delete content in Google Drive. Monitor the sync state before expecting every item in Files, especially after an initial crawl or a large change set.
Pause stops an active sync at a safe checkpoint. Resume retires the paused attempt and queues a new run from its saved progress rather than starting an unrelated duplicate crawl.
Frequently asked questions
Does choosing a different synced folder move or delete files in Google Drive?
No. A new selection only controls later synchronization; it does not move or delete content in Google Drive.
What happens if I pause an active sync?
It stops at a safe checkpoint. Resuming retires the paused attempt and queues a new run from its saved progress instead of starting an unrelated duplicate crawl.
