Connecting Google Drive to CompanyCam automatically backs up your job site content to Drive, organized into a folder for each Project. Google Drive, part of Google Workspace, lets you securely store, organize, and share 100+ file types from any device, so once the integration is on, your team always has a copy of project photos, videos, and files where they already work.
This integration is available on select plans and is only available on the web app.
Set up the integration
You'll need Admin or Manager permissions in CompanyCam, plus the appropriate permissions in your Google Drive account.
In CompanyCam, go to Integrations > App Marketplace.
Search for and open the Google Drive Card.
Click Connect, then click Save.
Choose the Google account you want to connect, then click Allow.
How it works
When you first connect, CompanyCam creates a parent folder in Google Drive called CompanyCam. From then on, every new Project you create in CompanyCam automatically gets its own subfolder inside that parent folder, and any photos, videos, and files added to the Project sync into it.
If you move a subfolder somewhere else in Drive, new content still syncs back to it correctly.
You can move the CompanyCam parent folder to a shared drive once it's created, so your whole team can access it. In Google Drive, click the three-dot menu to the right of the folder name, then select Organize > Move.
Note: This integration doesn't sync historically. Only Projects created after you connect will sync; existing Projects won't back up retroactively.
Disconnect the integration
In CompanyCam, go to Integrations > App Marketplace.
Open the Connected Integrations tab, then click the Google Drive card.
Click Disconnect.
