Google Drive Connector

Use widget="gdrive_binary" to seamlessly store files in Google Drive!

Connect Odoo to Google Drive using the Drive API v3. Store files from gdrive_binary fields in the authenticated user's Drive instead of the database, per company. Configure OAuth credentials in Google Cloud, consent and redirect URIs, upload destination (default folder, folder picker, or auto subfolder per record), and optional scheduled token refresh. On the field itself, users can preview files with the eye icon and reuse chatter attachments via the paperclip (From chatter)-ideal for App Store deployments with clear company-level control.

HIGHLIGHTS

Google Drive API
Drive API v3 & OAuth 2

Per-company OAuth Client ID and Secret from Google Cloud, delegated Drive scope (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive) plus openid/email hints, token verify and scheduled refresh.

gdrive_binary
gdrive_binary widget

Use the dedicated field widget on forms and lists-upload, download, clear, plus From chatter and Preview actions. Standard binary fields stay in Odoo.

Upload modes
Upload destination modes

Default target folder, folder picker wizard on each upload, or auto-create a subfolder per record under My Drive root-configured with a single radio field.

Folder picker
Google Drive folder picker

When upload mode is "ask for Google Drive folder on upload", browse and select the target folder in Drive before the file is sent.

Preview
Preview ( eye icon)

Open a read-only preview for a stored file (including Office-friendly flows where configured) without leaving the form.

From chatter
From chatter ( paperclip)

Pick an attachment already posted in the chatter and push it to Google Drive seamlessly.

Cron
Scheduled token refresh

Link to the included ir.cron job that refreshes expiring access tokens before they lapse.

Markers
Markers in Odoo, files in Google Drive

Binary fields store a compact marker; file bytes live in Google Drive-reducing database size for large attachments.

Detailed Company Configuration Fields

To start using the Google Drive Connector, navigate to Settings -> Companies -> [Your Company] -> Google Drive tab. Below is the detailed explanation of all available configuration fields:

  • Enable Google Drive connector: Turn this toggle on to use Google Drive for this company's gdrive_binary fields. Saving the form does not automatically turn it off.
  • OAuth Client ID (Google Cloud) & OAuth Client Secret: Create OAuth Web application credentials in Google Cloud Console and paste them here. Enable the Drive API on the project and match the OAuth redirect URI Odoo expects (see the banner on this tab).
  • Redirect URI & web.base.url: The callback path is .../eb_google_drive/oauth/callback. Use the same protocol and host you open in the browser (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8069 vs localhost).
  • Token verified: A read-only toggle indicating whether credentials and tokens look valid and the access token expiry is still in the future.
  • Google Drive Token Expires At: Shows when the current access token is expected to expire.
  • Upload destination: Controls where uploads from the gdrive_binary widget go:
    • Default - use configured target folder: Uses the Google Drive Target Folder selected via Fetch folders.
    • Ask for Google Drive folder on upload: Prompts the user with a folder picker on every upload.
    • Auto-create subfolder per record: Creates a folder per Odoo record under My Drive root (target folder ID is not used in this mode).
  • Chatter -> Google Drive (From chatter): When picking an attachment from chatter for a Drive-backed field-keep it in chatter, or after upload remove the bytes from Postgres and leave a log note.
  • Scheduled action: refresh tokens: Links to the background cron job that refreshes access tokens before they expire.
  • Last Google Drive API message & Message type: The most recent success, info, or error text from Drive API operations.

Company Configuration & Authorization

Steps to Configure:

  1. Add your OAuth Client ID and OAuth Client Secret from Google Cloud.

Frequently Asked Questions


Does this module work with Odoo Community and Enterprise?

Yes. It depends on base, web, and mail and is intended for both editions.

Do standard binary fields automatically use Google Drive?

No. Only fields that use the gdrive_binary widget store files via this connector. Regular binary fields behave as default Odoo.

What OAuth scopes does Google prompt for?

As documented on the company Google Drive tab, the flow requests delegated Drive access (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive) plus identity/profile hints (openid, email/profile), so folder browse, uploads, deletes, and previews match the parity model of companion cloud-storage connectors by TheERPBot. Configure the OAuth consent screen and restrict credentials appropriately in Production.

What does the eye (Preview) icon do?

It opens an in-browser preview of the file stored in Google Drive for that field (where supported), so users can verify content without using the download button.

What does "From chatter" (paperclip) do?

It lets users pick an attachment that already exists on the record's chatter and use it for this Drive-backed field-useful when a file was posted in chatter first. The record may need to be saved before picking, depending on context.

I need customization-how do I contact you?

Do I need to buy the module again for each Odoo version?
