Google Drive integration

# Google Drive connected to the company's official library

Drive folders and documents can appear in Vindula with categories, owners, and context so teams consult them in the official channel.

Google Drive • library categories • link or import mode • controlled sync

The integration helps keep Drive as the source without removing the document from the official consultation flow.

Integration in detail

## What your company can organize

Understand what can be connected, who controls operations, and how governance appears in daily use.

### Library and categories

Organize Drive from the categories the company already uses to guide consultation and document governance.

- Category-level linking Library categories can point to specific Drive folders.
- Link or import mode The company defines whether to keep the file as a governed link or import supported documents into the library.
- Root folder organization The connection can start from a root folder to keep scope clear from implementation.
- Drive creation when configured New documents can start in linked folders when the project includes that flow.

### Sync and operations

Keep documents updated without turning Drive into a parallel source outside control.

- Manual or scheduled sync Owners can sync folders at the pace operations require.
- Processing report Failures, created documents, and updates stay visible for follow-up.
- Source preserved Drive remains the source when that is the right design for the company.
- Controlled manual uploads Linked categories can avoid manual uploads to preserve a single source.

### Connection governance

Authorizations and permissions clarify who can connect, configure, and sync.

- Google consent The connection goes through provider authorization and remains under administrative control.
- Configuration permission The company defines who manages the connection, folders, categories, and sync.
- Audit trail Connections, links, imports, and relevant syncs leave history.
- Project-based scope Implementation starts with the categories and folders that truly need governance.

Operational control

## What becomes clear for the company

The integration needs to reduce dispersion and clarify source, authorization, ownership, and day-to-day use.

Keep Drive folders inside an official consultation point without losing the file source.

Separate categories that only point to Drive from categories that import supported documents.

Reduce duplicate documents across channels and guide employees to the right reference.

Give visibility into failures, updates, imports, and sync owners.

Best fit

## When it makes sense to prioritize this integration

The decision should start from where information lives today and how it needs to reach employees with context.

### Google Workspace already adopted

When the company already uses Drive but needs to govern access and consultation inside the intranet.

### Folders by area

When each area keeps its own folders and an official consultation library is missing.

### Policies and procedures

When documents need category, owner, history, and contextual communication.

FAQ

## Common questions before the demo

Objective answers to align expectations about scope, authorization, and governance.

 Does Vindula replace Google Drive?

Not necessarily. Drive can remain the file source while Vindula organizes context, categories, consultation, and governance.

 Does the integration import documents?

It can import supported documents when that mode is defined in the project. It can also use governed links to preserve the file at the source.

 Who manages the connection?

The company defines authorized administrators to connect Google Drive, select folders, link categories, and run syncs.
