Keep your files in your own Google Drive or OneDrive

Connected storage (Drive Connect) keeps your company documents in your organisation's own Google Drive or OneDrive. You connect once, and every app that supports it uses the same connection.

What you need

  • A Khanal ID with two-step verification

Connect your drive

  1. Open storage settings from inside an app, for example K-Tender or K-Finance. This links your organisation for you. You can also open storage.khanals.in/storage.

Check and manage the connection

  3. Look at Needs attention for failed uploads, or files deleted or changed in the drive.
  4. Under Administrators, type a Khanal ID email and click Add to add another administrator.

Good to know

  • Which apps use it today: K-Finance and K-Tender keep files in your drive (K-Tender refuses uploads until a drive is connected). K-Projects and K-CRM send new files to your drive once one is connected. K-Secretarial and K-IPO use their own Google Drive link. K-Logistics, K-Survey and K-HR keep files on Khanal Group servers in India for now. See Security.
  • Least access: with Google Drive, Khanal Group can open only the files it created or that you pick. With OneDrive, only its own folder, Apps/Khanal Group.
  • One cloud per organisation. You can switch to the other cloud only while no document is stored in the current one.
  • Files are owned by the account that connected. For a company, use a company Shared drive or a Microsoft 365 account owned by the company. Full steps: Drive Connect help.

Common errors

There is no Connect button

Only administrators of the organisation's storage can connect. Ask an administrator listed under Administrators to add you or to connect.

"Cloud storage is not ready yet."

No drive is connected for your organisation. Ask an administrator to connect one.

Use Google Drive instead is not shown

Documents are already stored in the current cloud, so you cannot switch. Write to hello@khanals.in if you must move.

What happens if I click Disconnect?

Files stay in your drive, but the apps cannot open or add documents until you reconnect.
