🎓 WHAT IS AODocs?

AODocs turns your Google Drive into an enterprise file server.

★ Centralized document ownership
All documents managed by AODocs are owned by a single system account, thus protecting end users against accidental data loss (for example, when a user leaves the company).

★ Sharing permissions
Create secure folders where only administrators can change the document sharing permissions and configure a whitelist of authorized external shares (individual users or entire domains).

★ Push to My Drive
Folders managed by AODocs are automatically “pushed” to the My Drive of users who have access to them.
No need to request the link from co-workers!

★ Advanced Document Management features, including customer document properties, configurable workflows, version control, and audit logs.

The UFO extension can be used to edit your documents’ attachments in AODocs.

Larissa Beck (ID: 0000008051a26be1) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/24/2023 It doesn't work properly. The extension was installed for the whole company, but in my computer (MacBook Pro) loose the connection every single time the extension is updated. It's frustrating, and Technical Department hasn't solutions. Anyone knows what could be the problem? Thanks

Rick I (Mojave Rick) (ID: 000000d9b092d48f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/30/2022 I have an ARM based laptop that is not compatible with the Google Drive app. AODocs combined with the local client is the only way to sync my files across my other devices. Works perfectly for me! I would love it if AODocs would let me select the folder I want my spreadsheets to sync to that way I can take advantage of the external links I have between different files.

Rik van den Reijen (ID: 00000085c9ea0579) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/11/2022 Seems cool but hard to figure out (still haven't). I would like to use this extension to open URL's straight from my Google Drive however it is showing up as an open with option :(

Eric Im (ID: 000000874bf889fb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/17/2022 What a life saver for me especially when you're blocked by Windows security from installing the normal Google Drive for Desktop!
