Connect private Drive storage and manage company files
Organise company files, folders and authorised previews in the connected private Google Drive storage.
Before you begin
Use file-management permission and a Google Drive connection authorised for this company.
Step by step
- Open Files and review the Drive connection and company folder before uploading.
- Connect through the displayed account flow if needed, then create meaningful folders for company documents.
- Upload a permitted file to the intended folder and inspect its name, type and metadata.
- Use the signed-in preview or download for supported file types. Keep customer uploads and payment proofs with their source records.
- Review file moves, folder changes and recent access activity. Check the selected item carefully before any removal action.
Check the result
An authorised colleague should access the intended company file; a private preview is not a public media URL.
Common question
Can I place a private preview link in a public product page?
Use an approved public media workflow for storefront assets. Private files require the appropriate signed-in access.
