Odoo document system is clear and comfortable to use. However, it is not especially designed to work with files as specific cloud storage solutions like OneDrive, Google Drive, OwnCloud, and DropBox do. To process attachments users need to download a file, to change it, and to upload back. Documents are not synced locally and Odoo doesn't have powerful previewers and editors. Specific cloud storage clients don't have such disadvantages.
This tool is a technical core to provide logic of automatic and bilateral files synchronization between Odoo and your cloud storage solution. It is not of use without a real client app.

Automatic integration
Synced attachments are physically kept only in a cloud storage, what increases Odoo interface performance. Simultaneously, you can open documents from Odoo in a second.
Bilateral sync
Sync any documents you like
- Projects: have an own clouds folder for each customer project.
- Customers: add all partner files in a single directory available both from Odoo and from clouds. Modify those using default cloud editors and access them when working in Odoo.
- Employees: gather all files by this employee in a single cloud folder: photos, document scans, contracts. Access and upload those from Odoo and clouds alternatively.
- Opportunities: carefully store all specifications, requirements, any files which would let you make a good offer.
- Orders: keep all printings and contracts in clouds with simple availability from Odoo.
Easy accessible files
Sync logs in Odoo
Default folders for documents
Yes, you can. To this end:
Turn on debug mode
Go to technical settings > Automation > Scheduled jobs
Find the jobs 'Synchronize attachments with cloud' and 'Update attachments from cloud'.
Take into account that you should not make them too frequent. It is preferable this job is finished until a new one is started. Thus, the configuration should depend on how many items you to sync you have. Usually, the frequency is set up between 15 minutes to 4 hours.
Make also sure that you have set up enough time limits in your Odoo configuration file. Thus, LIMIT_TIME_CPU and LIMIT_TIME_REAL parameters should be equal or bigger than planned cron job time. Starting from the version 13 consider also the parameter LIMIT_TIME_REAL_CRON.
An import notice for Odoo.sh clients: the maximum time for cron job might be set up as 15 minutes only.
No, this feature is available only from version 15. Prior to that version, the module works with the pre-defined structure of folders:
Odoo - a core folder for sync
Models - folders for each Odoo document type. For example, 'Projects', 'Partners'. Distinguished by domain there might be more specific folders: e.g., 'Customer 1 Projects', 'Projects of the Customer 2', 'Internal Projects', etc.
Objects - folders for each document, e.g. 'Project 1' or 'Customer 1'
Files and folders related to this Odoo document to be synced.
As a result you may have for instance:
Odoo / Projects / Project 1 / files and folders related to the project 1
Odoo / Customer 1 Projects / Project 1; Odoo / Customer 2 Projects / Project 3, ...
Odoo / Customers / Customer 1 / files and folders related to the customer 1
This structure is always flat, meaning that there are only those levels of hierarchy. Thus, it is correct that various document types can't be done within the same structure. Within the folder 'Customer 1' we can't keep the files related both to sale orders, invoices, and projects. Each of those document type has an own (or a few own) folders. Otherwise, we will not have a chance to make backward synchronization, since there would be no criteria to rely upon.
The app assumes that the binary content of attachments is kept in Cloud Client instead of the Odoo server. So, such attachments in Odoo become of the URL type, and you may any time access them either from the attachments box or from the Cloud Client.
After the setup, no manual actions are required, as the synchronization is fully automatic. Just decide which Odoo document types should be synced and set up a related model to sync for each of those (Customers, Sale or Purchase Orders, Tasks, Projects, etc.).
Yes, you can. To that goal, prepare a rule for each, and then those apply filters: for example by type of a project.
Try to make filters self-exclusive in order a document can be definitely assigned. For instance, 'customer but not supplier', 'supplier but not customer'. Otherwise, a specific document folder would jump from one model to another.
No, the tool relies upon a single user end point. It means that all sync processes are done under a single cloud admin (app). Access rights for created folders / files are not automatized. You should administrate those rights in your cloud storage solution.
No. We have strong reasons to avoid real time sync:
Performance issues. In case a sync is real time, each file upload will result in the loading screen.
Conflict issues. If 2 users simultaneously change an item, it might lead to unresolved situations. In case of regular jobs we can fix it afterwards, while in case of real time we would need to save it as some queue, and it will be even more misleading for users.
Functionality issues. In particular, renaming and restructuring of items. In the backward sync the tool strictly relies upon directories' logic, and during each sync 100% of items are checked. In case it is done after each update, it will be thousands of requests per second. If not: changes would be lost.
No, the tool is only a technical core. You also need the connector for your cloud client.
Yes, depending on your cloud client configuration.
Yes, although in case of many folders / attachments to sync, the process might be slow. Simultaneously, our clients reported to us the environments with >10k partners and ~5k product variants to be synced, and the processes were acceptable.
A few points to emphasize:
The sync is constructed in such a way that anyway any item will be synced and will not be lost, although it might be not fast. It is guaranteed by first-in-first-out queues and by each job commits.
The number of objects might be limited logically. The models' configuration let you restrict sync of obsolete items (e.g there is no sense to sync archived partners or orders which are done 2 years ago).
No, this feature becomes available only from version 15.
According to the current Odoo Apps Store policies:
- every module bought for version 12.0 and prior gives you access to all versions up to 12.0.
- starting from version 13.0, every module version should be purchased separately.
- disregarding the version, purchasing a tool grants you a right to all updates and bug fixes within a major version.
Take into account that the faOtools team does not control those policies. For all questions, please contact the Odoo Apps Store representatives directly.
The easiest approach is to use the Odoo store built-in workflow:
1. Open the module's page and click the button Deploy on odoo.sh
2. After that, you will be redirected to the GitHub page. Login to your account and click 'Create a new repo' or use the existing one. Please, make sure, that your repository is private. It is not permitted to publish the apps under the OPL-1 license. If necessary, create a new repo for your Odoo.sh project
3. Then, go to odoo.sh and click on the deploy button, submit the decision in the pop-up window and click 'Continue'. The action will trigger the installation process.
These steps will install the app for your project production branch. If you want to deploy the apps for other branches or update the module, you should undertake the following actions:
1. Upload the source code for the app from the Odoo store
2. Commit the module to a required GitHub repository. Make sure that none of the app folders/files are ignored (included in the .gitignore of your repo). Repositories are automatically created by odoo.sh, which might add by default some crucial items there (e.g. /lib). You should upload all module directories, subdirectories, and files without exceptions
3. Deploy a target branch of the odoo.sh project or wait until it is automatically built if your settings assume that.
Unzip the source code of the purchased tools in one of your Odoo add-ons' directories;
Re-start the Odoo server;
Turn on the developer mode (technical settings);
Update the apps' list (the apps' menu);
Find the app and push the button 'Install';
Follow the guidelines on the app's page if those exist.
Yes, sure. Take into account that Odoo automatically adds all dependencies to a cart. You should exclude previously purchased tools.
A red/orange warning itself does not influence features of the app. Regretfully, sometimes our modules do not pass standard automatic tests, since the latter assumes behavior which is in conflict with our apps goals. For example, we change price calculation, while standard Odoo module tests compare final price to standard algorithm.
So, first of all, please check deployed database features. Does everything work correctly?
If you still assume that warning influences real features, please contact us and forward full installation logs and the full lists of deployed modules (including core and third party ones).
No, we distribute the tools only through the official Odoo apps store
Regretfully, we do not have a technical possibility to provide individual prices.
No, third party apps can not be used on Odoo Online.
Yes, all modules marked in dependencies are absolutely required for a correct work of our tool. Take into account that price marked on the app page already includes all necessary dependencies.
The price for our modules is set up in euros. The Odoo store converts prices in others currencies according to its internal exchange rate. Thus, the price in US Dollars may change, when exchange rate changes.

We have OdooSH, we need to liberate space from it (attachments)
We work on so many projects, where in some cases, Adobe files are very large (200mb), we just want to storage these attachments in our Google Workspace Drive, in a special project folder designed fot it trough our dedicated google Workspace user.
Can the app do this ?
What other components do we have to acquire in order to have it working ?
Re: We have OdooSH, we need to liberate space from it (attachments)
Hello!
Yes, one of the key app goals is exactly to put attachments' binary content to one of the cloud clients (in your case to Google Team Drives). You may both:
* Upload files to Odoo: after the direct sync they would become attachments of the URL-type in Odoo; there would be real binary files in Google Drive
* Upload files to Google Drive: then, the backward sync would generate the URL attachments in Odoo.
In both cases, files would be finally kept only in Google Drive, while Odoo would contain only links for such items, although it would be still possible to upload those in the Odoo interface. The direct and backward sync is done automatically based on cron jobs.
In order for the system to work, you would need both the core module Cloud Storage Solutions (https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/13.0/cloud_base; at the moment the price is 245 Euro) and the connector (https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/13.0/google_drive_odoo/; the current price is promoted to 134 Euro at the moment).
Before purchasing, we would recommend testing the features in a demo database. To open an individual one and connect it to your Google Drive, please leave a claim on the page https://faotools.com/s/h5wkuu.
would it work with next cloud
also do in need to buy other connectors as well beside this ?
or this will be OK with nextcloud as well, pls confirm to decide
regds
sheriff
Re: would it work with next cloud
Sheriff,
this app is only a technical core which is not of use without a connector.
For the case of NextCloud you need - https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/13.0/owncloud_odoo/ (the price stated on that page already includes Cloud Storage Solutions module).
Does this modules keep the original attachements ?
Hello
Does this modules keep the original attachements copies or move totally into the cloud ??
Sincerely
Re: Does this modules keep the original attachements ?
Hello!
All synced files would be kept only in the clouds. Binaries would be removed from the Odoo server with the next cleaner.
Odoo attachments would become of the URL-type (when a user clicks on those, Odoo would redirect him/her to a cloud storage).
Feel free to contact us by any related issues using our support portal: https://odootools.com/my/tickets/newticket?&url_app_id=46&ticket_version=13.0&url_type_id=4
is it work on db_list = False ?
Re:
Hello Mohamed, do you mean the param ‘list_db’ (which is used to disable Odoo database manager)? If so, yes, all the connectors should work correctly. If the active database in clear and its URL (for redirection) is correctly set up, both login and sync must work.
