When Google Drive is referenced in some other application, field setup is required. Follow the steps to setup the referenced field (Google Drive).


1. In the field setup the referenced app should have Google Drive in it (As in the image below).

2. In Item folder name, choose text or number from the adjacent drop down. Prefix and suffix can be added to the item folder name. (Only text and number fields of the application can be used to create the Item folder name)

3. Click on "Add Folder" to create folders/ sub-folders and structure them as per your requirement. Click Save to save the configurations. 


The members those who have given access for google drive, only they can view what is been shared by the admin.



Even if the name of two item folders are same they are easily recognizable by the ids that's been assigned to all the item folders automatically. The image below shows such an example, two item folders have same name (as highlighted) i.e. "Fusionmint Abrahim" but the ids on these two folders are different and that's how it is easier to recognize the folders.
