Google Drive

See Cloud storage for the cross-provider comparison.

When to use Google Drive

Use Google Drive when the seller, banker, or target team is already sharing diligence material through Drive and you want that folder to become live project evidence instead of a manual download queue.

The banker folder becomes the starting batch

Real deal example: Google Workspace-native intake

The deal team receives a Drive folder with customer contracts, org charts, and monthly reporting. Connect that folder once, let the first batch import immediately, and let later changes come through as new versions instead of as another round of downloaded zip files.

Setup pattern

Connection happens once at the workspace level. After that, the actual folder is chosen from a project’s files empty state or from Project menu → Import.

Drive browsing starts from My Drive.

What happens after import

• the initial folder contents are imported immediately
• Colabra performs background re-syncs for connected project folders
• upstream file changes are stored as new file versions rather than duplicate project files

The exact re-sync cadence is not currently exposed in product settings, so teams should treat it as automatic background sync rather than a user-configurable schedule.

Use requests, not Drive sync, for documents that still have to be chased from the other side.
