DRIVE

DRIVE is a configuration module that allows connecting Gredit to a cloud storage service (Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or Microsoft SharePoint) and mounting a remote directory as a local folder so the system can read and consume the data it contains.

Available providers​

Gredit supports three configuration options:

What it is used for​

  • Mount a cloud drive directory as a local mount point
  • Allow scripts and processes to consume files and data stored in that directory
  • Centralize access to corporate data hosted on Google Drive, OneDrive, or SharePoint

How it works​

  1. After creating or updating the configuration, the system redirects to the provider's OAuth authentication flow to authorize access.
  2. Once authorized, the remote directory is mounted on the server at a local path.
  3. Scripts and the rest of the system can read and consume files from that mounted directory as if they were local.

Relationship with other modules​

  • Accounts: Each DRIVE configuration belongs to an account
  • Scripts and executions: Can access data from the mounted directory for processing
