Connect a Google Drive folder

Authorize Google Workspace, choose one Drive folder, and queue its files for workspace sync.

A Google Workspace connection synchronizes one selected folder into the current workspace. An Owner or Admin must complete the authorization and folder selection.

Authorize and choose the folder

  1. Open Settings > Connectors and add Google Workspace.
  2. Complete Google consent in the browser and return to Evane.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
