🔄 Google Drive Odoo Sync

Two-way synchronization between Google Drive and Odoo Documents

✨ Main Features

Bidirectional synchronization

Drive → Odoo and Odoo → Drive. The most recently modified file always takes precedence, thanks to an automatic comparison of timestamps.

Real-time dispatch

Drop a file into a synchronized Odoo workspace and it is instantly uploaded to Drive — no need to wait for the scheduled cron job.

Virtual links (Browse Drive)

Access all your Drive files from Odoo as clickable links — without downloading anything or filling up Odoo storage.

Managing large files

Files exceeding the configurable size limit (50 MB by default) are automatically stored as virtual links in both directions.

Propagation of the suppression

Optional: When a file is deleted in Odoo, it is moved to the Drive recycle bin (recoverable). Disabled by default.

Steering control

Enable or disable downloading (Drive→Odoo) and uploading (Odoo→Drive) independently. Real-time uploading follows the upload setting.

Configurable cron: every 1, 5, 10, 20, 30 min, 1h, 2h, 3h, 6h, 12h or 24h.

Complete synchronization logs

Complete history for each synchronization: status, counters, list of files processed and detailed error report.
