Google Drive Shared Drive

21 Replies

Hello, Our company has a business plan with google for email and drive etc for our employees. We recently purchased updraft plus to backup our 3 websites but were wondering if we could make our backups save to a a shared drive rather than the drive of a specific employee account?

It would be really useful to us as a company to be able to centralise without tying our backup to a specific google account.

Many thanks!

    I’ve been subscriber for over a year as well, I thought I read a year ago they were looking to implement this then. But seems they still have not, hope to see this soon!

    We used the Google Shared folder to backup the website, we can share that file, but this critical info is best shared with everyone.

    Yes, I am wondering too. I tried the path for the google drive folder of “Shared with me/foldername” and it just created a “Shared with me” folder at the top level, rather than using the existing “Shared with me.” This is an essential feature. Because right now UpdraftPlus authorizes blanket access to a Google Drive, which for a large shared drive is a security issue. So I’m using a separate account that has access to just one of my drives for backup – but it appears that U.P. can’t use it? I’m stuck….

    +1 Actually important feature missing. Tedious to create a workaround. I hope they will add this soon, since its also not hard to implement.

    This would be a great feature. I assumed it was there when I purchased updraftplus as few businesses want to store backups on employee’s personal google drive accounts as opposed to shared drive accounts…

    Been 2.5 years since this topic was introduced. Doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen (at least with a Premium subscription). What is UP waiting on?
    /any response would be better than nothing
