Google Drive
Use Google Drive as a cloud backup destination. Tusk requests the narrowest possible permission scope — it can only see files it puts there itself.
1
Open Preferences → Accounts
In Tusk, open Tusk → Preferences (or press ⌘,) and navigate to the Accounts tab.
2
Connect your Google account
Click Connect Google Drive. Tusk opens a browser window to Google's OAuth sign-in flow. Sign in with the Google account whose Drive you want to use as a backup destination.
3
Grant the requested permission
Google will ask you to grant Tusk access to files created or opened by Tusk (the drive.file scope). This is the narrowest permission available — Tusk cannot read, list, or access any other file in your Drive.
4
Add Google Drive to a project
Your connected Google account now appears in the destination picker when creating or editing a project. Select it and Tusk starts syncing your project files to a dedicated Tusk folder in your Drive.
Revoking access
You can disconnect Tusk from Google Drive at any time in Preferences → Accounts. You can also revoke access directly via myaccount.google.com/permissions. Your files already backed up to Drive are not affected — they remain in your Drive folder as plain files.
