If you are unable to find Shared Drive in the SysCloud backup application, it could be due to access restrictions in SysCloud or permissions configured in Google Workspace.

What it means |
What to do |
|
SysCloud access management restrictions |
Your SysCloud role may not have permission to view or manage Shared Drive archives. |
Contact your SysCloud administrator and ask them to verify your access permissions from Settings > Access management. |
|
Google Workspace app or cloud permission restrictions |
Shared Drive access may be restricted in Google Workspace, or the required Google service/app may not be enabled for your account. |
Contact your Google Workspace administrator and ask them to verify whether the required Google Workspace app access and permissions are enabled for your user account. |
|
Shared Drive is not enabled in the backup job |
Shared Drive may not be selected as part of the Google Workspace backup job. |
Ask your SysCloud administrator to verify that Shared Drive is selected in the backup job under Jobs > select backup job > Edit > Step 4: Select apps. |
What should I do?
- Contact your SysCloud administrator and confirm that you have permission to view Shared Drive archives in SysCloud.
- Ask your Google Workspace administrator to verify that Shared Drive access is enabled for your account in Google Workspace.
- Ask your SysCloud administrator to confirm that Shared Drive is included in the Google Workspace backup job.
- After the required permissions and backup settings are updated, go to Archives > Google Workspace and check if Shared Drive is visible
In the Turbo UI, Shared Drive appears as a separate app under Google Workspace archives only when it is included in the backup configuration and the user has the required access permissions.
