What it connects

Your Google Drive. Each connection chooses one of two kinds of access under Google Drive access.

  • Haruno connection folder is the default. Haruno sees only files it creates inside one folder named Haruno. Files you already have in Drive stay out of reach, even if you move them into that folder in Drive.
  • My Drive gives Haruno your whole Drive. It needs your organization's own Google app, which an administrator sets up in the Haruno dashboard.

What Haruno can do

  • List folders and files, inside the folders you allow.
  • Read one file. A Google Doc, Sheet or Slides file arrives as a Word, Excel or PowerPoint copy. Editing the copy does not change the original.
  • Open a folder and keep it in step with Drive.
  • Upload a file from your PC, creating it or replacing one with the same name.
  • Show who can reach a file, share it with a person, a group, a domain or anyone with the link, and take access away again. People can get view, comment or edit access.
  • Use a Drive file or folder linked to a project, added as a Cloud item in the project's sources.
