Manage files with Google Drive

Databases
Manage your Google Drive files in Jet Admin
Overview

The Google Drive integration connects Jet Admin to your Google Drive account, so you can upload a file, list files in a folder, and share a file directly from a Jet Admin app instead of switching to Drive. It's a way to give an internal app central file storage without building your own.

Once connected, Google Drive files can be joined to records in your own database, scoped by role, and shared with an external partner as part of an approval workflow. Every action is recorded in Jet Admin's audit log alongside the rest of your app's activity.

List files in a folder
