GoogleDrive

The TCAdmin file manager allows users to backup their files to Google Drive.

Backups are stored in your client's Google account.

The admin's Google account is only required to activate the service on the domain.

Requirements

• Your control panel must be accessible using a domain or subdomain. Direct IP access is not supported by Google.
• If you don't have a domain you can do a reverse DNS lookup on your control panel's IP and use that hostname (if it has one). https://www.whatismyip.com/reverse-dns-lookup/

Limitations

• TCAdmin can only restore files created by your control panel. It can't read other files in the client's Google Drive.
• If you delete the Google project and create a new one TCAdmin will not be able to read backups created with the previous project.
