​
Overview

The Google Drive integration lets your team work with Drive files directly inside Nextoria Hub’s file manager — without downloading and re-uploading. Changes sync bidirectionally within 60 seconds.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Google Workspace or personal Google account
  • Admin access on your Nextoria Hub workspace
  • Growth or Scale plan

​
Setup

1

Connect Google Drive

Go to Settings → Integrations → Google Drive and click Connect with Google. You’ll be redirected to Google’s OAuth consent screen.
2

Authorize permissions

Nextoria Hub requests the following scopes: - drive.file — access files created or opened by Nextoria Hub - drive.readonly — read files you choose to sync - drive.metadata.readonly — read file names and folder structure
Nextoria Hub does not request access to your entire Drive. It can only access folders you explicitly add through the sync configuration.
3

Select folders to sync

After authorization, click Add Sync Folder. Browse your Drive hierarchy and select one or more folders to mirror in Nextoria Hub.
4

Configure sync settings

For each synced folder: - Sync Direction: Two-way, Drive → Nextoria Hub only, or Nextoria Hub → Drive only - Team Access: Which roles can see the synced files in Nextoria Hub - Client Visible: Optionally expose synced files in the client portal

​
How Sync Works

  • Drive → Nextoria Hub: Changes in Drive (new files, edits, moves, deletions) appear in the corresponding Nextoria Hub folder within 60 seconds via Google Drive push notifications.
  • Nextoria Hub → Drive: Files uploaded or moved in Nextoria Hub are written back to the corresponding Drive folder via the Drive API.
Deleted files are moved to Trash in both systems — not permanently deleted — giving a 30-day recovery window.

​
Folder Mapping

Synced folders appear in the Nextoria Hub file manager with a Google Drive icon. The folder path in Nextoria Hub mirrors the path in Drive: 
Google Drive (synced)
└── Acme Corp → Nextoria Hub: Files / Clients / Acme Corp (Drive)
    ├── Briefs
    ├── Assets
    └── Deliverables

​
Supported File Types

Google Workspace native files (Docs, Sheets, Slides) are linked — clicking them opens the file in Google’s editor in a new tab. All other file types (PDFs, images, videos, etc.) are mirrored as full copies in Nextoria Hub storage.

​
Disconnecting

To disconnect Google Drive, go to Settings → Integrations → Google Drive → Disconnect. Synced folders remain in Nextoria Hub as static copies — no files are deleted. To revoke Nextoria Hub’s access entirely, visit Google Account Security → Third-party apps and remove Nextoria Hub.
