Cloud Drive Integration

The GC platform supports a wide range of fields and tables dedicated to external file linking.

By default, these external files are stored on the GC server, and users only have access via the application.

GC allows integration with external locations through Cloud Drives — currently supporting Dropbox, Google Drive, and FTP/S+SFTP (hosted on the client’s server).

Advantages of Cloud Drive Integration

When storing files in your own account:

  • You gain direct access to files without relying solely on the application
  • Enables automated document management
  • Leverages the full features of cloud platforms (e.g., sharing folders with an owner or building)

Requirements and Recommendations

  • GC does not impose any storage limits for external files
  • Cloud Drive usage is recommended, and mandatory for clients with high file volumes
    • Example: heavy use of OCR or billing integration

⚠️ The client is responsible for keeping their Cloud Drive account active, with enough available space, and must not modify the shared folder used by GC.

Migrating to Cloud Drive

Changing from local GC storage to a Cloud Drive:

  • Requires transferring all existing files
  • Should be planned and executed during low-usage hours
