Connect Google Drive and choose where files are kept
Google Drive works with a Google Workspace account or a personal Google account. Khanal Group can open only the files it creates or that you pick for it.

What you need
- Administrator rights in the storage organisation
- A Google account, ideally one owned by the company
- A Shared drive, if your company uses Google Workspace
Connect
- Open your organisation at storage.khanals.in/storage.
- Click Connect Google Drive.
- Choose the Google account.
- On Google's screen, tick the Google Drive permission and click to allow.
- Back on Drive Connect, you see "Google Drive connected as ... Now choose where documents are stored."
Choose the storage location
- Under Storage location, click Use My Drive of ..., or Choose a Shared drive or folder….
- If you chose a Shared drive or folder, pick it in the Google window.
- You see "Storage location set. The "Khanal Group - ..." folder is ready."
- Click Open the Khanal Group folder ↗ to see it in Google Drive.
Good to know
- A Shared drive owned by the company is best. With My Drive, files are owned by the person who connected; move the Khanal Group folder to a Shared drive before that person leaves.
- The green label "Your documents are stored in your Google Drive." shows only when the connection was checked in the last 48 hours.
- The Shared drive and folder chooser (Google Picker) still has an open set-up item on our side. If it does not open, use Use My Drive of ... for now and write to hello@khanals.in.
