Findest + Google Drive

Connect your Gmail and Findest reads every matching attachment, names it, and saves it into the exact Drive folder you'd have picked yourself — no downloading, renaming, or dragging.

Connect once, browse your real folder tree

One OAuth click authorizes Findest to see your Drive, not just an app-only folder. Browse My Drive and any Shared Drive you belong to with the same folder picker you'd use yourself, and create new folders without leaving Findest.

Every rule picks its Drive folder

Set a rule once — invoice → Drive → invoices_2026 — and every match gets classified, renamed, and uploaded automatically. Change your mind later and repoint it to a different folder in seconds.

Which Drive permission we ask for

Google offers two Drive permissions. We take the narrow one.

It's the question people ask most before connecting, so here is the honest comparison rather than a reassuring sentence.

Not what we use
drive

The full scope. An app holding it can read every file in your Drive, whether or not it has anything to do with the app.

Google classes it as restricted: a paid third-party security audit, repeated every year, and an "unverified app" warning on the consent screen until it passes.
What Findest asks for
drive.file

Findest only ever gets the folders you pick yourself in Google's own picker, plus the files it writes into them. The rest of your Drive stays invisible to it — including the files that were already in the folder you picked.

Not a restricted scope, so there is no audit and nothing to wait for. Revoke it in one click from your Google Account.
Google Drive FAQ

What people usually ask.

Does it work with Shared Drives, not just My Drive?

Yes. If your Google account belongs to a Shared Drive, it shows up in the same folder browser as My Drive, and any rule can point to it.

Do I have to give Findest access to my whole Drive?

No. Findest uses the drive.file scope, so it only ever gets the folders you pick yourself in Google's picker and the files it writes into them — the rest of your Drive is invisible to it. See Security for the full picture.

Can I file into a Shared Drive, not just My Drive?

Yes. Any Shared Drive your Workspace account belongs to shows up in the folder browser alongside My Drive, and a rule can target either.

What happens if I disconnect Google Drive later?

Existing files stay exactly where they are in your Drive. Findest just stops uploading new ones until you reconnect.
