Setting Up Google Drive Sync
Connect your Google Drive account to automatically sync appraisal documents.
Picture this. You finish a tough panel case, the carrier asks for the full document trail eighteen months later, and the only copy lives inside your AwardLettr account. If anything happens to that account, or your subscription lapses, or you simply want to share the folder with a paralegal, you are stuck logging in and downloading files one by one.
Connecting Google Drive solves that. Every generated document gets a second home in a folder you own, on infrastructure you already trust, with the sharing and search tools you already use. Your firm keeps a permanent archive even if you change software, and your team can grab a report from Drive on their phone without needing an AwardLettr seat.
This setup matters most for solo appraisers who do not want a single point of failure, and for firms that already use Google Workspace and want every case folder to land where their assistants already work.
Google Drive sync lets you automatically back up and organize your appraisal documents in Google Drive. Once connected, documents are synced as they are generated, no manual uploading required.
Connecting Google Drive
Open Integration Settings
In AwardLettr, navigate to Settings then Integrations.
Find the Google Drive Card
Locate the Google Drive integration section on the Integrations page.
Click Connect
Click the "Connect Google Drive" button to start the OAuth authorization flow.
Authorize in Google
A Google authorization window will open. Sign in with the Google account you want to use and grant AwardLettr permission to manage files.
Return to AwardLettr
After authorizing, you will be redirected back to AwardLettr. The integration card will show your connected account.
Configuring Folder Settings
After connecting, you can configure how your documents are organized in Drive:
- Root folder name — the top-level folder AwardLettr creates in your Drive
- Folder structure — documents are organized by appraisal, keeping each case in its own subfolder
- Sync preferences — choose which document types to sync automatically
Automatic Sync on Generation
Disconnecting Google Drive
To disconnect, return to Settings then Integrations and click Disconnect on the Google Drive card. Your existing files in Drive will remain intact — disconnecting only stops future syncs.
