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.
