connecting eDocman to a pre-existing Google G-Drive account

Hi,

Do you have any instructions for how I could connect the eDocman software in a website to a pre-existing G-Drive account?

Thank you

Peter

Hi Peter,
Please read this documentation: edocmandocs.joomservices.com/modules-plu...-google-drive-plugin to find solution to integrate Edocman with Gdrive
Thanks

I have seen the documentation, but as far as I can tell that is creating the whole environment from scratch. I have been provided with an email address and password for a GDrive and asked to connect it to eDocman.

Hi Peter,
It's not simple to setup the integration between Gdrive and Edocman. You need to follow the steps in the documentation to setup it. By the way, this integration is one way, it means, when you upload documents from Edocman, those documents will be moved up Gdrive, but Edocman won't collect existing documents on Gdrive and create documents in component.
Thanks

Now I understand. Thank you for the very speedy support.

Hello Mr. Dam

Just to clarify !
I bought this extension in the hope, that it would look into, and reflect the contents of my GDrive folder, where I could create categories for each GDrive folder.

From the answer above, it seems to me that this is not the case. Any changes I do on GDrive will not be reflected in eDocman.
Only files I create via the eDocman ext. will be copied to GDrive ? (one way)

Funny thing is that in your instruction for connecting to GDrive you have a screenshot from Dropfiles, which does exactly what I need. I have bought that, but currently have problems with it after update, so I bought yours, whic h seems to be more sleek and functional. However, question is the above.

Hi Michael,
Currently, the integration is one way, it means the documents can only be uploaded from Edocman to Gdrive storage, it's impossible to sync existing documents on Gdrive to Edocman
