Google Drive Odoo Integration v.14
The tool to automatically synchronize Odoo attachments with Google Drive files in both ways
This is the tool to integrate Google Drive features into your Odoo business work flow. The app automatically stores Odoo attachments in Google Drive, and it provides an instant access to them via web links. In such a way users work with files comfortably in the cloud storage, while the results are fully available in Odoo.
- the technical core which provides basic mechanics of auto synchronization. This is a required module for integration.

Automatic regular sync
Synchronization between Odoo and Google Drive is based on scheduled jobs. No manual interaction is required
Bilateral Google Drive sync
Odoo sends attachments to Google Drive and retrieves files from there. Binary content is kept in clouds, while Odoo provides direct access to synced items
Any Odoo document types for sync
Decide which Odoo document types should be synced. Customers, opportunities, sale or purchase orders, tasks or issues, employees or users, etc. Custom models are also supported
Instant access for Google Drive
The tool redefines Odoo attachments boxes to make work comfortable: download files locally without login, open files and folders in Google Drive (if possible, items would be opened in Google Drive editors and previewers), use standard Odoo previewers
Compatible with Odoo Enterprise documents
Reflect Odoo Enterprise Documents' structure and items in Google Drive. All features (including sharing, downloading, and signing) would anyway work
Google team and individual drives
Sync works both for individual and team drives (Google Suite business and enterprise tariffs). In the latter case the root folder Odoo is placed within a chosen team drive, in the former case - within a current user drive
Google Drive sync history
Sync activities might be logged. Control over files and folders creations, moves, name changes and removals. Just turn on the option 'Log sync activities', and you would be able to observe the history through the button 'Sync logs'
Default folders
The tool let generate default directories' structure for this document type during the very first sync of a related object. For example, for all employees you may have pre-defined folders 'Scans', 'Scans/Official', 'Photos', etc.
Tricky setup, but works perfectly now
Really solid module. We managed to get a very flexible folder structure (sorted by clients) and synced all our sales orders, invoices and tasks by projects to Google Drive.
Initial setup was a bit of a pain and kinda tricky to configure everything at first, but now it's running smoothly and works perfectly. The faotools team helped a lot. Def worth it if u need to keep your docs organized in Odoo and Google Drive.
Recommended!
Excellent !!!
Great App and great Service from faOtools.
Best module for integration with google drive
The module performs its function correctly and faOtools responds quickly to any problem and, in case of detecting any bug, quickly apply the changes. Its support is 10 stars.
Sync any documents you like
Configuring models to sync
-
To sync a specific document type, you should add it as a model to sync. Any Odoo model might be chosen
-
The app let split models into a few folders based on selected filters. Use any document storable field to distinguish a directory. Have a separate folder for individuals and companies, for European and American opportunities, for quotations and confirmed orders, for each project, etc.
-
Limit also documents by relative periods through using date fields of linked documents. For example, leads registered in the last 3 months or invoices updated the last week
-
Define name expressions to specify titles of documents' Google Drive folders. For instance, to include project name to a task directory
-
Prepare hierarchy of default folders to be created when a document directory is synced to Google Drive for the first time
Typical use cases
-
Projects: have an own Google Drive folder for each customer project
-
Customers: add all partner files in a single directory available both from Odoo and from Google Drive. Modify those using default cloud editors and access them when working in Odoo
-
Employees: gather all files by this employee in a single cloud folder: photos, document scans, contracts. Access and upload those from Odoo and Google Drive alternatively
-
Opportunities: carefully store all specifications, requirements, any files which would let you make a good offer
-
Orders: keep all printings and contracts in Google Drive with instant availability from Odoo
-
Picking operations: save warehouse docs to Google Drive.
How synchronization works
Direct Sync
-
Direct synchronization is based on the scheduled job 'Synchronize attachments with cloud'
-
Direct sync make all synced Odoo attachments change their type to a link (URL), while binary content is removed with a next Odoo cleaner. So, no actual files would be stored on your Odoo server
-
Direct sync checks whether attachments are added or deleted for synced documents. If so, they would be created or removed in Google Drive
-
Direct sync checks whether a new document type (e.g. sale orders) is added / renamed / replaced in the to-sync-models configurations. If so, this should be reflected in Google Drive
-
Direct sync checks whether a new document (e.g. quotation SO-001) related to a synced document type is generated / updated / unlinked. If so, the connector would make the same changes in Google Drive
-
The final goal of direct Google Drive integration is to have the structure 'Odoo / Document Types / Documents / Files. For example, 'Odoo / Quotations / SO019 / commercial offer.pdf'
Backward Sync
-
Backward synchronization is based on the scheduled job 'Synchronize attachments from cloud'
-
Backward sync checks whether any items are added to a Google Drive document folder. If so, the app would create URL attachments for that items in a linked Odoo object
-
Backward sync checks whether any items are deleted / moved in a cloud document folder. If so, a linked Odoo attachment would be also unlinked or moved
-
Backward sync checks whether any item is renamed in Google Drive. If so, a chained Odoo attachment should be also renamed
-
In Google folders you can put not only files but also child folders. In that case a link for this folder (not its content) would be kept in Odoo attachments
-
If you deleted a folder related to this document type or this document, their child files would be deleted as well. Thus, Odoo would remove related attachments. The folders, however, will be recovered with a next direct sync
Misc notes
-
The connector works on a queue (first in - first out) principle: it tries to firstly reflect the oldest changes
-
Each sync, especially the very first one, might take quite a long. It is not recommended to make sync too frequent: once an hour seems reasonable frequency
-
File names and content should be managed in Google Drive: each backward sync would recover Google Drive names, Odoo is here less important
-
Take into account that files or folders deleted in Google Drive are really deleted only when you clean trash. Otherwise, such files still exist and would be reflected in Odoo
-
Try to avoid the following symbols in folders' and files' names: *, ?, ", ', :, <, >, /, +, %, !, @, \, /,. Direct sync will replace such symbols with '-'. It is done to avoid conflicts with file systems.
Odoo Enterprise Documents
-
The special add-on 'Cloud Sync for Enterprise documents' is introduced to synchronize Google Drive with the Odoo app 'Documents' (the latter is distributed under the Odoo Enterprise license)
-
Based on that add-on the Odoo documents' hierarchy would be reflected within the folder 'Odoo / Odoo Docs'
-
Each Odoo folder would have a linked Google Drive folder. Take into account that folders created in the cloud storage will be synced as Odoo attachments. The key principle is: folders are managed by Odoo, files are managed by the cloud client
-
All files are synced with the same logic as usual attachments. Files created in Odoo will be added to the cloud storage and will be replaced with links in Odoo. Files created in cloud storage will generate URL attachments within a paired documents directory
-
Standard Google Drive sync and integration with Enterprise Documents are done within the same jobs. Avoid the scenarios when a single file is synced as a simple Odoo attachment and as an Odoo document simultaneously
-
Odoo spread sheet files are not synced by the connector: so, they are still manageable in Odoo
-
Please do not name synced models as 'Odoo Docs'. This is the reserved name for Odoo Enterprise Documents.

Odoo server configuration and cron job configuration
To make sure the synchronization works correctly apply proper timeouts to the Odoo configuration file: LIMIT_TIME_CPU, LIMIT_TIME_REAL, LIMIT_TIME_REAL_CRON should be more than 900 seconds.
For Odoo.sh this should not be done, since timeouts are predefined and are not configurable.
Then, timeout should be entered to your Odoo. To that goal find the section 'Settings' on the app configuration page and copy the number there.
Afterwards, it is needed to make the cron jobs suit the applied timeouts. In the debug mode go to the Settings > Technical > Automation > Scheduled Jobs:
- Set up the job 'Synchronize attachments with cloud' as (a) frequency - 2*timeout; (b) the next execution as the next hour +timeout. For example, for 900seconds timeout: frequency - as 30minutes; the next execution - at 08:15
- Set up the job 'Synchronize attachments from cloud' as (a) frequency - 2*timeout; (b) the next execution as the next hour + timeout*2. For example, for 900seconds timeout: frequency - as 30minutes; the next execution- at 08:30.
Ofte stillede spørgsmål om Google Drive Odoo Integration Odoo v.14
Deles genererede Google Drive-mapper automatisk blandt Odoo-brugere?
The app itself does not regulate access rights on the Google Drive side. It should be done manually there. Thus, Odoo would create target folders in Google Drive, which by default are not shared, while you can change permissions to any of the folders. For example, to grant full rights for the 'Odoo' directory or to a specific 'Odoo > Sale Orders' or 'Odoo > Sale Orders > SO-001'.
The app works on a single user endpoint principle. So, all sync operations are done under the same Google Drive user (according to the Google API app you have configured).
Jeg slettede en fil i Google Drive, men den er stadig i Odoo
For at slette en fil helt skal du også tømme papirkurven i Google Drive.
Husk også, at filen stadig kan være i Odoo, fordi den baglæns synk endnu ikke har behandlet vedhæftningen. Det er en planlagt proces og tager tid.
Vil Google opkræve mig ud fra API-anmodningerne?
Modulet bruger kun det gratis API, så Google opkræver ikke.
Kan jeg ændre hyppigheden af synkroniseringsjob?
Yes, you can. To this end:
Turn on debug mode
Go to technical settings > Automation > Scheduled jobs
Find the jobs 'Synchronize attachments with cloud' and 'Update attachments from cloud'.
Take into account that you should not make them too frequent. It is preferable this job is finished until a new one is started. Thus, the configuration should depend on how many items you to sync you have. Usually, the frequency is set up between 15 minutes to 4 hours.
Make also sure that you have set up enough time limits in your Odoo configuration file. Thus, LIMIT_TIME_CPU and LIMIT_TIME_REAL parameters should be equal or bigger than planned cron job time. Starting from the version 13 consider also the parameter LIMIT_TIME_REAL_CRON.
An import notice for Odoo.sh clients: the maximum time for cron job might be set up as 15 minutes only.
Kan jeg konfigurere en anden struktur for synkroniserede mapper end den, synkroniseringen antager?
Nej, denne funktion findes først fra version 15. Før det arbejder modulet med en foruddefineret mappestruktur:
Odoo - rodmappe til synken
Modeller - mapper for hver Odoo-dokumenttype. For eksempel «Projects», «Partners». Efter domæne kan der være mere specifikke mapper: «Customer 1 Projects», «Projects of the Customer 2», «Internal Projects» osv.
Objekter - mapper for hvert dokument, f.eks. «Project 1» eller «Customer 1»
Filer og mapper knyttet til dette Odoo-dokument, som skal synkroniseres.
Så kan du for eksempel have:
Odoo / Projects / Project 1 / filer og mapper til projekt 1
Odoo / Customer 1 Projects / Project 1; Odoo / Customer 2 Projects / Project 3, ...
Odoo / Customers / Customer 1 / filer og mapper til kunde 1
Strukturen er altid flad: kun disse niveauer. Forskellige dokumenttyper kan ikke ligge i samme gren. I mappen «Customer 1» kan man ikke holde både ordrer, fakturaer og projekter. Hver type har egen/egne mappe(r). Ellers har den baglæns synk intet kriterium.
Skal jeg oprette bestemte brugeradgange i Odoo?
Nej, værktøjet bruger ét brugerendepunkt. Alle synkprocesser kører under én cloud-administrator (app). Rettigheder til oprettede mapper / filer automatiseres ikke. Administrer dem i din cloudlagerløsning.
Hvor gemmes synkroniserede filer? Duplikeres de i Odoo og i clouds?
Appen antager, at den binære indhold af vedhæftninger gemmes i Cloud Client i stedet for på Odoo-serveren. Sådanne vedhæftninger i Odoo bliver af typen URL, og du kan når som helst åbne dem fra vedhæftningsfeltet eller fra Cloud Client.
Efter opsætningen kræves ingen manuelle handlinger: synkroniseringen er fuldt automatisk. Beslut, hvilke Odoo-dokumenttyper der skal synkroniseres, og opret en relateret model for hver (kunder, salgs- eller indkøbsordrer, opgaver, projekter osv.).
Kan jeg have flere mapper til samme dokumenttype? For eksempel interne projekter og kundeprojekter?
Ja, det kan du. Opret en regel til hver og anvend filtre: for eksempel efter projekttype.
Gør filtrene indbyrdes udelukkende, så et dokument kan tildeles entydigt. For eksempel: «kunde men ikke leverandør», «leverandør men ikke kunde». Ellers hopper dokumentmappen fra én model til en anden.
Behøver jeg kun appen Cloud Storage Solution?
Nej, værktøjet er kun en teknisk kerne. Du skal også bruge forbindelsen til din cloud-klient.
Er det okay, hvis jeg har mange objekter at synkronisere, for eksempel 10000?
Ja, selvom processen kan være langsom med mange mapper/vedhæftninger. Kunder har dog rapporteret miljøer med >10k partnere og ~5k produktvarianter, og processerne var acceptable.
Nogle punkter:
- Synken er bygget, så ethvert element synkroniseres og ikke går tabt, selv om det ikke er hurtigt. FIFO-køer og commit af hvert job garanterer det.
- Antallet af objekter kan begrænses logisk. Modelkonfigurationen lader dig udelukke forældede poster (f.eks. arkiverede partnere eller ordrer fra for 2 år siden).
Er det muligt at gøre synkroniseringen realtids?
Nej. Vi har stærke grunde til at undgå realtidssynk:
Ydeevne. Ved realtidssynk giver hver filupload en indlæsningsskærm.
Konflikter. Hvis 2 brugere ændrer et element samtidig, kan det blive uløseligt. Med almindelige job kan vi rette bagefter; i realtid skulle der bruges en kø, endnu mere vildledende.
Funktionalitet. Især omdøbning og omstrukturering. Den baglæns synk bygger strengt på kataloglogikken og tjekker 100 % af elementerne ved hver synk. Efter hver opdatering ville det være tusindvis af anmodninger i sekundet. Ellers ville ændringer gå tabt.
Kan jeg ændre mappernes standardnavne i clouds?
Du kan give modelmapperne (salgsordrer, muligheder, leverandører osv.) dit eget navn for enhver dokumenttype.
For objektmapper (SO-001, John Smith osv.) bruger værktøjet Odoos metode til visningsnavn. Du kan ændre det med et navneudtryk. Syntaksen er den samme som i Odoo e-mailskabeloner.
Kan jeg synkronisere vedhæftninger til flere cloud-klienter
No, this feature becomes available only from version 15.
Vi bruger en særlig editor i vores clouds (f.eks. OnlyOffice, Office 365). Ville filer åbnes i den editor?
Ja, afhængigt af din cloud-klients konfiguration.
Hvad er opdateringspolitikken for jeres vaerktojer?
Ifolge de gaeldende regler for Odoo Apps Store:
- Hvert modul kobt til version 12.0 eller tidligere giver adgang til alle versioner op til 12.0.
- Fra version 13.0 skal hver modulversion kobes separat.
- Uanset version giver kobet ret til alle opdateringer og fejlrettelser inden for en hovedversion.
faOtools-teamet styrer ikke disse regler. Ved sporgsmaal, kontakt Odoo Apps Store-representanterne direkte.
Hvordan installerer jeg jeres app pa Odoo.sh?
Den mest direkte tilgang er Odoo-butikkens indbyggede arbejdsgang:
1. Abn modulets side, og klik pa Deploy on odoo.sh
2. Du bliver omdirigeret til GitHub. Log ind, og klik pa Create a new repo, eller brug et eksisterende. Repot skal vaere privat. Apps under OPL-1 ma ikke offentliggores. Opret om nodvendigt et nyt repo til Odoo.sh-projektet
3. Ga derefter til odoo.sh, klik pa Deploy, bekraeft, og klik pa Continue. Installationen starter.
Disse trin installerer appen pa production-grenen. Til andre grene eller opdatering:
1. Download kildekoden fra Odoo-butikken
2. Commit modulet til GitHub-repot. Ingen app-mapper/filer ma sta i .gitignore. Repoer oprettet af odoo.sh kan ignorere vigtige stier (f.eks. /lib). Upload alle modulmapper og -filer
3. Deploy malgrenen i odoo.sh-projektet, eller vent pa det automatiske build, hvis indstillingerne angiver det.
Hvordan installerer jeg jeres app pa min egen server?
2. Genstart Odoo-serveren;
3. Sla udviklertilstand til (tekniske indstillinger);
4. Opdater applisten (Apps-menuen);
5. Find appen, og klik pa Activate/Install;
6. Folg retningslinjerne pa appsiden, hvis de findes.
Jeres app har ekstra tilfojelser. Kan jeg kobe dem senere?
Ja. Odoo laegger automatisk alle afhaengigheder i indkobskurven: udelad allerede kobte vaerktojer, sa du ikke betaler to gange.
Jeg deployede jeres app pa Odoo.sh og ser advarsel/fejl i testene
En rod/orange advarsel pavirker ikke appens funktioner. Nogle gange bestar vores moduler ikke de standard automatiske tests, fordi de forventer en adfaerd, der er i konflikt med appens mal. Vi aendrer f.eks. prisberegningen, mens Odoo-testene sammenligner slutprisen med standardalgoritmen.
Tjek forst funktionerne i den deployede database. Virker alt?
Hvis du stadig mener, at advarslen pavirker reelle funktioner, kontakt os, og send de fulde installationslogfiler og den fulde liste over deployede moduler (kerne og tredjepart).
Kan jeg kobe jeres app direkte hos jer?
Nej, vi distribuerer kun vaerktojerne via den officielle Odoo-appbutik.
Jeg vil gerne have rabat
Desvaerre har vi ikke tekniske midler til individuelle priser.
Kan jeg installere appen pa min Odoo Online (SaaS)-database?
Nej, tredjepartsapps kan ikke bruges pa Odoo Online. Odoo SaaS blokerer den mulighed.
Jeres vaerktoj afhaenger af andre apps. Skal jeg kobe dem?
Ja, vaerktojet kraver alle moduler markeret som afhaengigheder. Prisen pa appsiden inkluderer allerede disse afhaengigheder.
Hvad koster modulet i amerikanske dollar? Hvorfor aendrede den sig?
Prisen pa vores moduler er sat i euro. Odoo-butikken omregner til andre valutaer efter den interne valutakurs. Derfor kan prisen i amerikanske dollar aendre sig, nar kursen opdateres.
App- og webstedstekster på andre sprog end engelsk er AI-assisterede og afstemt med officielle Odoo-oversættelser. Hvis du opdager en fejl, send en sag om oversættelseskorrekthed så retter vi det.
