Google Drive Integration

How to enable Google Drive sync for a PropellerDeck workspace and keep your files in sync bidirectionally.

Google Drive Integration

PropellerDeck can sync your workspace files with a Google Drive folder, so your work is always available in both places. Like the Dropbox integration, Google Drive sync is configured per workspace — each workspace connects independently to its own Drive folder.

Enabling Google Drive Sync

  1. Open the workspace you want to connect to Google Drive.
  2. Navigate to Workspace Settings using the settings icon or menu within that workspace.
  3. Find the Google Drive Sync section and toggle it to enabled.

Authenticating with Google

After enabling the integration, click the Connect Google Drive button. PropellerDeck uses Google's standard OAuth authentication flow. You will be redirected to a Google sign-in page where you select the Google account you want to use and grant PropellerDeck permission to manage files in that account.

After granting permission, Google returns you to PropellerDeck automatically.

Selecting a Target Folder

Once authenticated, a folder navigator opens. Use the breadcrumb navigation at the top to move through your Google Drive folder hierarchy — click any folder name in the breadcrumb to jump back to that level, or click a folder in the list to open it. When you have located the folder you want to sync, click Select This Folder to confirm your choice.

How Sync Works

Google Drive sync is bidirectional: files created or modified in your PropellerDeck workspace are pushed to the linked Drive folder, and files added or changed in Drive are pulled into your workspace. Both locations stay in sync without any manual intervention.
