# google drive

Use the Google Drive file sync integration to connect your account in SureCloud and sync a selected file or folder.

{% hint style="info" %}
This is plug and play.

You do not need to set up APIs, app registrations, or client secrets.
{% endhint %}

### How it works

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Connect your account

In SureCloud, open the file sync attribute.

Choose **Google Drive** and connect your account.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose the content to sync

Select the file or folder you want to sync from Google Drive.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save the selection

Save the attribute configuration.

SureCloud keeps the selected file or folder linked to the record.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Use the synced content

Open the record and use the synced file or folder directly from the attribute.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### What you can sync

* Individual files
* Folders
* Shared Drive content available to the connected account

### Things to remember

{% hint style="info" %}
The files and folders you can select depend on the permissions of the account you connect.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you cannot see the file or folder you need, reconnect with an account that has access to that content.
{% endhint %}

<details>

<summary>I cannot see the file or folder I want to sync</summary>

Check that the connected Google account can access the content you want to sync.

If needed, reconnect the account and try again.

</details>

<details>

<summary>The wrong account is connected</summary>

Disconnect the current account in SureCloud and reconnect the correct one.

</details>

<details>

<summary>The file sync does not update as expected</summary>

Open the file sync attribute and confirm the selected file or folder is still available to the connected account.

</details>
