Connect Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or SharePoint so Haruno can read a file, work in a folder kept in step with your account, or upload a file.

Cloud storage connectors let Haruno reach the files you keep online. There are four: Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and SharePoint. Each has its own card in Settings ▸ Connectors. The Storage & files button shows them together.
The four cloud storage cards, with Office files beside them.
Each card can hold several accounts. Each account keeps its own name, sign-in and folders. Signing in works like any connector. See Signing in to a connector.
Three ways Haruno uses your files
Way
What happens
Read one file
Haruno downloads a copy of that one file and reads it. It does not copy the rest of the account.
Work in a folder
Haruno copies a whole folder to this PC and keeps it in step with the account. It can then edit the files with its ordinary file tools. A big folder takes a while to copy.
Upload one file
Haruno puts a file from your PC into the account. It creates the file, or replaces one with the same name.
Choose which folders Haruno may use
Every account has a setting called Folders Haruno can use. It has three answers.
Only the folders I list below shows a Shared folders box. Type one folder path per line, such as Work/Reports. Everything inside a listed folder is included.
Nothing for now lets Haruno reach no folder.
Everything in this connection lets Haruno reach the whole account.
You must choose before the first Connect. If you do not know the folder names yet, pick Nothing for now. Once the account is connected, List subfolders shows what it holds.
A path outside your choice is refused.
This limits Haruno, not the account
The choice limits what Haruno does. It cannot change what you allowed at sign-in. Google Drive can be given two kinds of access.
What sync does
While a folder is open, Haruno checks the account about every 30 seconds. A change made on this PC goes up a moment after it is made. The status bar shows Syncing… with a file count while files move, Cloud folder incomplete with a reason when some files could not be fetched, and Sync error when a pass fails.
Deleting works both ways
If you remove a file from the folder on this PC, the next sync removes it from the account too. A file removed in the account is removed from this PC. Nothing asks first. One exception: a file you changed here after it was removed in the account is kept and sent back up.
If a file changed in both places, the account's version is saved next to yours as a file marked "(conflicted copy)". Your own version stays in place.
What needs your approval
Haruno asks before it uploads a file, and before it shares a file on Google Drive. The card shows the file's path, so you see which file on your PC is about to leave it. Reading a file, listing folders and syncing an open folder do not ask.
The approval card offers Allow once and Deny, and often Allow for this session. In the advanced view you can set any of these tools to On, Confirm or Off under Tools. In a scheduled task, a tool set to Confirm is refused, because nobody is there to answer.
Removing a connection
Remove connection removes one account and its saved sign-in. Your other accounts stay connected. Files it downloaded to this PC are deleted too. Disconnect does the same for every account of that connector.
