Storage
Google Drive
Browse and manage Google Drive files from Atlas.
What this connector does
- List shared drives and folders the connected user can access.
- Index file metadata (name, owner, modified time, mime type) for searchable evidence links.
- Attach Drive file links to tasks, deals, and contracts without copying file content.
- Optionally watch a folder so newly added files appear in Atlas evidence references.
Before you begin
- You are an owner or administrator of your Atlas workspace.
- You can sign in to your Google Drive account and approve access for Atlas.
- Atlas looks after the Google Drive app on its side, so there is nothing for you to create or copy.
How to connect
Open Google Drive in Integrations
In Atlas, open Integrations and select Google Drive.
Press Connect
Atlas sends you to Google Drive to sign in. Sign in with the account you want to connect.
Approve access
Review the permissions that Google Drive lists and approve them. Atlas returns you to the connector page, which then shows the connection.
Check the connection
Select Test connection on the connector page. A passing result means Atlas can read from Google Drive.

Troubleshooting
insufficient permissions on a folder
The connected user must have Viewer or higher on the folder. Re-share and retry.
Connect says Google Drive is not available yet
Atlas has not enabled Google Drive for this deployment, so there is nothing for you to configure. Check again later.
The sign-in was cancelled
If you close the Google Drive screen or choose Cancel, Atlas does not connect. Press Connect again and approve the access.
Atlas asks you to reconnect
Google Drive can end a connection when access is revoked or a password changes. Press Reconnect on the connector page and approve the access again.
Event notifications
Atlas uses Drive watch channels to receive change notifications. Channels expire and Atlas renews them automatically.
Events Atlas listens for
- File created in a watched folder
- File renamed or moved
- File trashed
