# Google Drive

> Connect Google Drive to pull invoice PDFs from a shared folder into ClearSpend.

The **Google Drive** integration (tagged **Track Spend**) syncs PDF documents from a Google Drive folder you specify — for example a shared finance folder where statements are filed. Open **Integrations** and connect from the **Google Drive** card.

<Note>
  **Inbox vs Drive.** To import from **email**, use the [Gmail integration](/connect/gmail). Use Google Drive when invoices are saved as files in Drive. You can connect both, and link more than one Google account if files are spread across mailboxes or shared drives.
</Note>

## Connect Google Drive

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Integrations">
    Navigate to **Integrations** in the sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Connect">
    Find the **Google Drive** card and click **Connect**. You'll be redirected to Google's OAuth consent screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve scopes">
    ClearSpend requests read-only access to Google Drive file metadata and content. You can revoke access at any time from your Google account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure sync options">
    Choose the **folder path** to scan (default `/ClearSpendDocuments/`) and a **date range** — last 90 days, since last sync, or a custom start date. When you pick **Custom Date**, a start date is required.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for the first sync">
    Most integrations finish their initial import within a couple of minutes. Large folders can take longer. The integration card will show the last sync time once complete.
  </Step>

## Connected state

Once Google Drive is active, its card shows a green dot, the linked account, and the last sync time.
