Are Google Drive documents synchronized between Elium and Google Drive?
Only when you show them with the preview option of the GDrive block. Imported files are copies.
Updated on 6 October 2026
It depends on how you add the documents:
-
Preview with the "GDrive" block: yes. The document stays in Google Drive, and its changes show in Elium. Its content is not indexed, so search does not find it.
-
Import with the "GDrive" block: no. Elium keeps a copy, which search can find. Later changes in Google Drive are not copied.
-
Import of a whole folder by an administrator: no. The files are copied into Elium.
