If you are a Google Drive user, we've made it easy to link your account and store all your files in one secure place.

❗Note: Each Invite must have the option for Google Drive enabled for the synchronisation to work, this is done for new invites if the default sync option is enabled (explained in this guide). To sync files from existing invites see here

🔒Note: Cloud Storage syncing is available on the Pro and Multi plans. Find out more about the different FileInvite plans.
