My docs on Google Drive

Hi,

I know that my Coda docs are on Google Drive. When I opened my Drive, I found only four docs of them while I have many in my workspace in the Coda app.

What is going wrong?

Dear @Mostafa_AlBelliehy ,

You might want to get in contact with support@coda.io
as they will be able to analyze your account.

I’ve sent them an email. Thanks for the help.

Hey @Mostafa_AlBelliehy. A few corrections:

  1. Docs were never on Google Drive. Docs were always stored on Coda’s own infrastructure. Google Drive was used to manage permissions on docs (i.e. sharing settings), and there were only doc shortcuts on the Drive but not docs themselves.

  2. Coda migrated pretty much everyone away from Google Drive already. First the transition was optional, then they were force migrating remaining workspaces (for one of my clients it broke their workflow so we contacted support a few times to un-migrate them back, that’s how I know this was happening). There’s little chance yours is still on Google Drive — you’d most likely know if it were

The four docs you’re seeing are probably some orphaned items or something else could’ve gone wrong (e.g. the docs were created by someone who was on Drive but never had a Coda workspace or something, idk)
