Hello. We want to share files in our Miro board using links. However, it requires us to allow Realtime Board to access our google drive. We are worried that it may delete files from our google drive without us knowing or on accident.

Hey @CJ Gomez,

These permissions are the standard permissions for Google Drive. The Google Drive application only manages the 'files' that we create on the Drive (link to boards etc). Miro does not have an opportunity to manage any content within your Google Drive.

As our Integration with Google Drive includes two features:

  • the Import of documents from Google Drive to a Miro board;
  • saving links to a Miro board to Google Drive,

these actions require Google Drive reading permission and Google Drive writing permission.
Hope this helps! 

Thanks! :D

If I integrate my google drive, can anyone with access to the board access all the folders and files with in the google drive account I have integrated?
