How to Connect Your Gmail Account to InvoDrive

InvoDrive runs entirely inside your Google environment – Gmail and Google Drive. To enable automatic invoice scanning and organization, you need to securely connect your Google account.

Step 1: Log in with Google

  • Go to the InvoDrive homepage or login screen.

  • Click the “Sign in with Google” button.

  • Choose the Gmail account where you receive your business receipts and invoices.

Tip: We recommend using your business email, not a personal one, to keep everything clean and focused.

Step 2: Grant the required permissions

Google will ask you to approve the following permissions:

  • Read access to Gmail – needed to detect invoices in your inbox.

  • Write access to Google Drive – to store documents in structured folders.

  • Basic account info – used to identify your account (email, name).

Important:
InvoDrive does not store or transfer any of your data to external servers. Everything stays within your own Google account.

Step 3: Confirmation and first setup

Once you approve access, you’ll be redirected to InvoDrive. A message will confirm:
“Successfully connected to your Google account.”

You’ll now see the initial setup screen:

  • Select a start year for scanning (available in Advanced / Pro plans)

  • Choose the language of your invoices

  • Access your personalized dashboard

Where are my files stored?
InvoDrive creates a folder called InvoDrive inside your Google Drive, with subfolders by year > month > supplier.
