Setup Google Drive

Google Drive setup

Use the same regular Markdown and JSON files in a project folder made available locally by Drive for desktop. Choose the real mounted/mirrored path on your computer; a drive.google.com folder URL is not a filesystem path.

systemx install --target "/your/local/Drive/Project" --profile drive
systemx run --target "/your/local/Drive/Project" --offline -- status

On Windows, quote the full path, for example G:\My Drive\Project; the drive letter and folder location are user-selected, not assumed by the installer. Make the project available offline before running commands. Google documents mirroring and streaming in Drive for desktop help.

The profile does not create a Google account, obtain OAuth access, call Drive APIs, change sharing, or convert files into native Google Docs. Drive performs the synchronization. Keep one writing computer/session active for a shared project and wait for synchronization before switching: the local lock is not a distributed lock across computers. Resolve Drive conflict copies explicitly.

For browser-only Drive, upload the reviewed folder's ordinary files while preserving their hierarchy, or upload a chat export. Updates there require an explicit download/review/upload cycle or a separately authorized connector. There is no background cloud updater. Keep private records in an appropriately shared folder and never publish a populated project as a template.
