Drive Connect
Get started with Drive Connect in 15 minutes
Most people start from an app's storage settings. The app sends you to Drive Connect, you connect your drive there, and you go back to the app.

What you need
- A Khanal ID with two-step verification set up
- Owner or admin rights in the app you start from
- A Google account (a company Shared drive is best) or a Microsoft account
- About 15 minutes
Start from the app
- In K-Tender, K-Projects or K-CRM, open Settings → Connected storage. In K-Finance, use the storage banner.
- Click the connect button, for example Connect storage or Connect Google Drive or OneDrive.
- Sign in with your Khanal ID if asked. You must be the same person who clicked the button.
Link the app to a storage organisation
- On Link ... to cloud storage, choose Create storage for ..., or Use ... if the same company already uses another Khanal app.
- Click Continue.
- You see "Linked. Now connect ... and finish the set-up here".
Connect the drive and go back
- Click Connect Google Drive or Connect OneDrive.
- Sign in to Google or Microsoft and approve the limited access.
- For Google Drive, choose the storage location. OneDrive sets up its folder by itself.
- Check that the page says Your documents are stored in your Google Drive. (or OneDrive).
- Click ← Back to ... to return to the app. The button stays for 2 hours.
Good to know
- You can also open storage.khanals.in/storage directly and create a storage organisation under Add an organisation. Usually you do not need this.
- Drive Connect is free with any app. Files use your drive's own space.
- See also connect Google Drive or OneDrive.
