If you use cloud drives like OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox, you can connect them through locally synced folders.

​
How It Works

When you install cloud drive apps (OneDrive app, Google Drive for Desktop, etc.), cloud files sync to specific folders on your computer. Wissly connects to these synced folders.

​
Step 1: Install Cloud Drive App and Verify Sync

1

Install Desktop App

Install the desktop app for your cloud service.
2

Log In and Sync

Log into the app and wait for file synchronization to complete.
3

Verify Sync Folder Location

Check the sync folder location in File Explorer.

​
Step 2: Connect Sync Folder in Wissly

1

Click Open Folder

Click File > Open Folder from the top menu.
2

Navigate to Sync Folder

Navigate to the cloud drive’s sync folder.
3

Select Folder

Select the desired folder and click OK.

​
Important Notes

Online-Only FilesFiles set to “Online only” or “Download on demand” may not exist locally yet. These files will only be indexed after they’re downloaded.
When files change in the cloud, the sync app updates local files, and then Wissly reflects the changes.
Even if internet connection is lost, files already synced locally can still be searched.
For Google Drive, using “Mirror” mode stores all files locally, allowing Wissly to index them immediately.
