This article explains who can access your Google Drive folder, how you can organise it, and what happens if you move or delete synced files.
Who can access the folder
When you connect Google Drive to ProBackup, two Google accounts will have access:
Your Google account – the account you used to set up the connection.
ProBackup's account ([email protected]) – with view-only access for support purposes.
You are free to share the folder with other team members. If you want to limit what team members can see, you can share specific subfolders instead of the top-level folder.
Moving the folder
ProBackup creates a new folder in the root of your Google Drive when you connect. You can move this folder to a different location within your Drive, but please note:
Do not rename the folder.
Do not move the folder to a Shared Drive or a different Google Drive instance.
Deleting synced files
We do not recommend deleting synced files from your Google Drive folder. Here is what happens if you do:
Google Sheets – if you delete a synced Google Sheet, ProBackup will automatically create a new one the next time records are added or updated in that dataset.
Attachments – attachments are only synced once. If you delete an attachment from Google Drive, it will not be synced again.
