How to move coda to spesific folder in google drive?

1

Dear all,
I just use coda and make about 4 pages,
but when I open google drive, all the pages is shown in top page of my google drive.
If in the future I make 100 pages, my google drive interface will look mesh.

So I want to make folder called “Coda” in my google drive, and all coda pages that I created automatically will saved in that folder.

How can I do that?

Bump - any solution here? Why does coda hijack the root folder?

Dear @Ed_Liveikis,

Not a straight answer on your question, but some more details on Gdrive:

I can’t recall the source, but if I have understood well, the actual Coda doc is stored on servers owned? / leased? ( not sure) and the file at Gdrive is just to connection.

Maybe one of the Codan’s will be able to share more details

Thanks @Jean_Pierre_Traets. Yes from what I’ve read all the actual “meat” of the documents are stored on another system, AWS.

So far I’ve tried manually moving a couple Coda documents in my gdrive to a subfolder and it appears to work fine - so probably coda just does a search for app:coda docs in drive and the folder structure doesn’t matter.

Still though a) the default should be some sort of .coda folder for all coda glink files, not in the root, b) the user should be able to specify the default.

Hi @Ed_Liveikis,

I agree with you :handshake:

From a data hygiene perspective, I agree that it’s not giving a good impression, especially having in mind cooperative clients.
