Can I link a whole Google Drive folder?
Can I link a whole Google Drive folder?

Not directly. Google’s privacy rules don’t allow apps to connect to an entire Drive folder automatically.

Instead, Visualist uses the Google Drive Picker, which lets you choose exactly which files to bring into your hub. If you want to work with a whole folder’s worth of files, you can still do it in a couple of quick steps:

How to add a folder’s files

  • In your hub, select Link Google Drive.
  • The Google Picker will open. Navigate into the folder you want.
  • Select all the files you’d like to bring in (you can select multiple files at once).
  • Click Select — the files will appear instantly in your hub.

Adding new files later

If you add new files to that Drive folder in the future, just re-open the picker, navigate to the same folder, and select the new files. This way, you stay in control of what appears in your hub.

Why this works this way

This setup keeps your Google Drive private and secure. Visualist only ever has access to the files you personally choose, and never your whole Drive.
