How do I sync with Google Drive cloud storage?

Set up Google Drive in Scriptation to sync your scripts and notes across iPad, iPhone, and Mac — with version-controlled saving that protects every revision.

📝 NOTE: This video shows a slightly older user interface, but the instructions are still accurate.

📝 NOTE: Cloud Storage is an Industry Pro feature.

iPad / iPhone setup

Tap the File Browser icon on the Top Toolbar:

Tap Add Connection:

On the Add Connection pop-up, tap Google Drive:

Tap Continue and follow the prompts to sign in with your Google Drive username and password;
The Google Drive icon now appears under Connections in the File Browser. To take advantage of Google Drive's version-controlled saving, move or copy your local files into Google Drive.

✅ TIP: Move is limited to single files. To relocate multiple files or folders, use Copy.

📝 NOTE: Files stored in On My iPad / On My iPhone only exist on that device and aren't automatically synced to Google Drive — you'll need to move or copy them over.

Mac setup

If it's not already installed on your Mac, download and install Google Drive for desktop from google.com/drive/download;
There's no separate Google Drive sign-in inside Scriptation — your Google Drive folders are visible after clicking Select File from the Scriptation home screen:

Select File opens a standard Finder window, which lets you open your Scriptation files like any other PDF:

✅ TIP: If you access Google Drive frequently, drag the folder to the sidebar of your Finder window to pin it there.

⚠️ DON'T FORGET: If your scripts are saved locally (Desktop, Downloads, etc.), you won't be able to access them on other devices. Move the files into Google Drive.
