What This Does
This flow keeps a Google Drive folder in sync with Breyta.
- Audio and video files are automatically transcribed.
- Google Docs, Google Sheets, PDFs, slides, chats, and other non-media files are saved in Breyta.
- Synced files keep their original file names.
- Saved non-media files go into a private Breyta storage folder labeled
Synced Drive files.
Before You Start
- Copy the Google Drive folder link you want to sync.
- In Google Drive, share that folder with
google-drive-sync@breyta.iam.gserviceaccount.com. - If the folder contains video files, give the service account Editor access.
What You Set Up
During setup, you will:
- Paste the Google Drive folder link.
- Choose how far back the first sync should look.
If you do not change it, the first sync looks back 30 days.
Start Right Away
After setup, click Run first sync now in the UI if you want the first sync to start immediately. Otherwise, the flow will wait for the next hourly sync.
Good To Know
After the first sync, the flow keeps going from where it left off. Google-native files such as Docs and Sheets are exported into a standard file format when they are saved in Breyta.
