About the Google Drive Connector settings

The Google Drive Connector app settings are accessible from the file manager by clicking the context menu in the top right corner and then selecting the "Google Drive Connector settings" option.

Personal details

Currently, you can only verify the name sent by Atlassian apps to Google Drive Connector.

Manage your connected places

You can manage your connected places from the "Places" tab inside the Team File settings. You're in control of your storage places: only you can see the places you allowed, and you, and only you, can disconnect them.

Rename a place

You can connect several accounts from the same service, and by default, we add a number at the end when you do it to differentiate them. To help you keep things organized, you can rename your places to something more meaningful to you.

Instructions:

  1. Click the context menu button on the right side of the place you want to rename.

  2. Click the "Rename" option.

  3. Enter the new name and click save.

That's it. It just takes a few moments to update the name, and it's ready to use.

You can also rename and manage your places from the "Connect a Folder" dialog.

Disconnect a place 

Before getting into how to do it, it's relevant to know that you're only breaking the link in the Google Drive Connector app to the original storage when you disconnect a place. All your content is safe, but any folders you have connected from that place will also be disconnected. Consequently, files and folders that you or your team attached to Jira issues from the disconnected folders also lose the link to the original storage and become unavailable.

If you accidentally disconnect a place, you can connect it again in 30 days to restore the connected folders and attachments. After this period, it’s no longer possible to restore the existing attachments.

Instructions:

  1. Click the context menu button (1) on the right side of the place you want to disconnect.

  2. Click the "Disconnect" option (3).

  3. Confirm by clicking the "Disconnect" button.
