Google Drive Integration

Google Drive Integration

For all customers to back up their data to Google Drive, ERPNext offers an integration with the service.

How to set up Google Drive Integration

You must give ERPNext permission to upload files to Google Drive in order for it to upload backups to the service. The following steps are used to set up Google Drive Integration:

OAuth 2.0 credentials can be created through Google Settings.
Click New in the Google Drive list. To save backups to Google Drive, enter the name of the backup folder, the frequency of the backups, and the email address of the recipient of the backup status email before you save the information. To authorize ERPNext to push files to Google Drive, select Authorize Drive Access.
You can save your backup to Google Drive once it has been approved.

How to use Google Drive Integration

Uploading backup to Google Drive

After Google Drive Integration is successful, you can upload your whole private and public file library to Google Drive in addition to the system backup.
Click Take Backup to start a Google Drive data backup. You will be informed of the backup status as the backup process runs in the background.

Note: The system will upload the most recent backup file already in existence to Google Drive rather than creating a new backup file if the compressed backup size exceeds 1GB (Gigabyte).
