Google Drive

Connection with your Google account

Google Drive connects by authorizing Frihet in a Google window. There are no keys to copy. Frihet stores the tokens encrypted.

What it does in Frihet​

  • Connects your Google account — You authorize Frihet and the integration shows as Connected in Integrations.
  • Stores the tokens encrypted — Frihet keeps the access token and the refresh token to maintain the connection.
  • Lets you disconnect — From Danger zone you can disconnect the integration.

Permission Google asks for: access only to the files and folders the app itself creates (drive.file). It does not give access to the rest of your Drive.

What Frihet does not do​

  • Listing or searching files in your Drive from Frihet.
  • Uploading invoices, quotes or other documents to Drive.
  • Downloading files from Drive into Frihet.
  • Creating folders per client or per year, or automatic invoice backups.

Requirements​

  • A Google account with Google Drive.
  • Each connected integration counts toward your plan limit: 2 on Free, 5 on Pro, unlimited on Premium.

Connect Google Drive​

  1. Go to Integrations and open Google Drive.
  2. Click Connect Google Drive.
  3. In the Google window, choose your account and accept the permission.
  4. You return to Frihet, which shows the integration as Connected.

If you cancel on the Google screen, you return to Frihet with the canceled-connection notice. Click Connect Google Drive again to retry.

Use cases​

Keep your Google account linked​

The connection leaves your Google account authorized in Frihet and counted among your integrations.

Saving documents to Drive​

Frihet does not upload files to Drive on its own. Download your invoices from Frihet and save them to your Drive, or use Frihet webhooks (Premium plan) with n8n, Make or Zapier so a flow copies them.

Security​

  • Frihet stores the tokens encrypted.
  • The drive.file permission limits access to files the app creates.
  • You can revoke access at any time from your Google account (myaccount.google.com/permissions) or by disconnecting the integration in Frihet.

Troubleshooting​

Frihet shows that the connection was canceled​

  • Repeat the process with Connect Google Drive and accept the permission Google requests.

I want to switch Google accounts​

  1. In Danger zone, click Disconnect Google Drive.
  2. Connect again and choose the other account.
