Cloud storage and folder sync

Connect Google Drive or OneDrive, import files, and keep a local folder in sync.

Connect your cloud storage accounts. Once connected, you can browse files and import them into a knowledge base without downloading and re-uploading them by hand.

The cloud storage connections screen

Connecting a service

Cloud Storage → connect Google Drive or OneDrive. You are sent to the provider to authorise, and returned with Account connected.

Disconnect Service removes the connection. Existing imported documents will not be removed — disconnecting stops future access, it does not retract what you already imported.

Importing files

Browse Files, select what you want, and Import to Knowledge Base. AODex reports how many files were imported.

Selection is multi-file; Clear (n) resets it.

Keeping a folder in sync

Add Folder sets up a watched local folder — shown as Auto-synced local folder: . Changes in it are picked up and reflected in AODex, with a Folder Activity log recording events such as File Changed.

Force Rescan re-walks the folder when you suspect something was missed. A file removed underneath AODex shows as File Not Found.

Folder sync is one-directional and additive by nature. It brings your files into AODex; it is not a two-way sync and should not be treated as a backup of the folder.

When a connection breaks

Two states worth recognising:

  • Connection expired — reconnect to continue. Providers time authorisations out. Reconnect; nothing is lost.
  • Error — reconnect to fix. Same remedy.

Neither deletes imported documents.
