Lite DMS

Access & view company documents from Google Drive — directly inside Odoo

Lite DMS connects your Odoo instance to Google Drive so every employee can browse, preview, and open company documents without leaving Odoo. Admins configure the Google Drive connection once; everyone else gets instant, read-only access through a beautiful Document Explorer with folder tree navigation and inline previews.

Key Features

🗂️

Document Explorer

Interactive split-pane explorer with a collapsible folder tree on the left and a full-width document preview on the right. Navigate your entire Drive like a desktop file manager.

👁️

Inline Document Preview

Preview Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDFs, and images directly inside Odoo — no new tabs, no downloads. Click a file in the tree and see it instantly.

📂

Recursive Folder Sync

Syncs your entire Google Drive folder hierarchy — including all nested subfolders — with a single click. New files and folders appear automatically.

🏢

Multi-Company Access Control

Restrict folders and documents by company. Employees only see documents belonging to their assigned companies. Leave empty to share with everyone.

📋

List & Kanban Views

Browse documents in a detailed list view (with file type, size, and modification date) or a visual Kanban view showing thumbnails and quick-open buttons.

⚡

Modern OWL Frontend

Built with Odoo 19's OWL component framework. Reactive state management, folder expand/collapse, instant preview switching — no full-page reloads.

How It Works

  1. Install Lite DMS from Apps.
  2. Go to Lite DMS → Settings and enter your Google Drive Folder ID and API Key (or OAuth2 credentials).
  3. Click Sync Documents — folders and files are synced recursively.
  4. Open Document Explorer to browse the folder tree and preview any document inline.
  5. Or switch to List / Kanban views to browse, search, and open documents.
  6. Optionally assign Allowed Companies to folders for multi-company access control.

Multi-Company Ready

Per-Folder Access Control

  • Folder-level permissions — assign allowed companies to each folder
  • Documents inherit company restrictions from their parent folder
  • Employees only see documents belonging to their assigned companies
  • Leave the company field empty to share a folder with all companies

Built-in Security

  • Read-only for employees — all users get read access; only administrators can sync or configure
  • Admin-only configuration — settings, sync, and folder permissions restricted to base.group_system
  • Standard Odoo access control via ir.model.access rules
  • Company-filtered queries — search_read and search_fetch automatically filter by user's companies

  • Instant previews — view Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDFs without opening Google Drive in a new tab
  • One-click setup — paste your Folder ID and API Key, hit Sync, done
