About Google Drive
Google Drive is the cloud storage and file management platform at the core of Google Workspace. It provides organisations with centralised storage, real-time collaboration on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, and fine-grained access control. Over 3 billion users rely on Google Drive for individual and enterprise file management.
Core Capabilities
Cloud file storage, folder hierarchy management, real-time collaboration, version history, shared drives for teams, and deep integration with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
Deployment
Role-based permissions at file and folder level (viewer, commenter, editor, organiser, owner), domain-restricted sharing, link-based access, and audit logging for compliance.
Data Model
File-and-folder hierarchy with unique file IDs, MIME type handling for native Google formats and imported files, revision tracking, and label-based metadata. Business Connector handles all of these natively.
Typical Landscape
Google Drive typically integrates with ERP and CRM platforms for document archiving, project management tools for asset delivery, e-signature systems, and content management platforms.

What Lives Under One Roof
What you can do with this connector
All natively built, All sharing OES data model. All accessible from one workspace.
Automated Document Archiving
When a sales order, invoice, or contract is finalised in your ERP or CRM, the related document is automatically uploaded to a designated Google Drive folder, with the correct naming convention, metadata labels, and permissions applied.
Content Delivery to Downstream Systems
Files uploaded to monitored Drive folders trigger downstream workflows: new product images populate your e-commerce platform, approved proposals notify your CRM, and signed contracts update contract records automatically.
Permission Lifecycle Management
When an employee joins, changes role, or leaves, as recorded in your HR or identity system, Drive permissions are updated automatically. Files are reassigned, access is revoked, and shared drive membership is synchronised.
Cross-System Collaboration Triggers
Comments added to Drive files initiate tasks or tickets in connected project management and helpdesk systems. Resolved items in those systems can close comment threads in Drive, keeping conversations in sync.
Structured Folder Provisioning
When a new project, client, or deal is created in any connected system, a predefined folder structure is provisioned in Google Drive automatically, with appropriate permissions, naming, and label tagging applied from the start.
Revision & Audit Trail Distribution
File revision history and version metadata from Google Drive flow into compliance systems, BI dashboards, or document management platforms, maintaining a complete audit trail across your landscape without manual exports.
