SyncEzy-Email
This is the email you signed up with to access the integration portal on integrations.syncezy.com
Procore-Username
This is the email associated with the Procore account you connected.
GoogleDrive-Username
This is the email associated with the Google Drive account you connected.
Special Characters
Enabling this option will automatically change the special character from # % * : < > ? / \ | ~ to Hyphen (-) of your file/folders name as some applications do not support special characters. This feature works for the Photos tool only as Procore itself cleans up the special characters for Documents tool whereas in the Photos tool, they allow special characters.
Sync Deletes
Enabling this option will allow you to delete files from both systems if you delete it from one. If you delete a file from Procore, it will delete it from Google Drive. If you delete a file from Google Drive, it will delete it from Procore. If this option is disabled, deleted files will not be synced and you will have to manually remove it from the other system. You can of course increase or decrease the limit. Once the limit is hit, the sync will not delete any more files and the sync will email the administrator with the path of the files not deleted. The Sync deletes limit will reset after 24 hours. (Please note that the 24-hour deletion limit reset is based on the file deletion time, which means the 24-hour starts from the time you have deleted the file).
Please note: For example, if this feature is enabled and your sync delete limit is set to 25 in 24 hours and you have deleted 100 files from Google Drive, the deletion of 25 files only will be synced back to Procore. This means those 25 files only will be deleted from both the applications (you are syncing your deletes). However, the deletion of the remaining 75 files will remain unsynced in Procore unless those files are deleted manually from Procore. These 75 files will be shown as unsynced when you check the File Manager in your SyncEzy Integration Portal. To avoid this we recommend you to increase the Sync Delete limit to 10000 or more. The deletion limit can be changed in the Details menu.

Data View
In the Data view tab, you can view data related to the Procore to Google Drive sync. You can also export them as an Excel spreadsheet.
Sync Status
In this tab, you can view the sync status - success or failure. The sync runs everyday and you will be able to see when it starts and when it completes.
Configuration
The Configuration tab is where you will add your projects and company-level documents from Procore and select the location in Google Drive you want to sync it to.
1. Add Project to Sync
Here's how it works:
1. Click on the "Add Project to Sync" button
2. Choose your Procore company first.
3. In the Procore Project box select the Procore project from the list.
4. In Project Tools, select whether you want to sync Documents, Photos, or both, and then select Google Drive.
5. Check the box where it says "Create a Sub Folder with Procore Project Name" if you would like the integration to create a folder with the matching project name (selecting the checkbox automatically creates a parent folder with the same name as the Procore project). This means once the location is selected the integration will automatically create a folder with the project name and corresponding chosen tool folders (Documents and/or Photos) within the selected location and start syncing the data.
6. Once the location is selected please click on Add Project button to add your project.
7. Repeat the process to add a new project.
2. Sync Company level documents:
5. Check the box where it says "Create a Sub Folder with Procore Project Name" if you would like the integration to create a folder with the matching project name (selecting the checkbox automatically creates a parent folder with the same name as the Procore project). This means once the location is selected the integration will automatically create a folder with the project name and corresponding chosen tool folders (Documents and/or Photos) within the selected location and start syncing the data.
Please note that If you do not check the box then you will need to manually create a folder with the matching project name or any preferred name. Then the integration will sync the data to your selected location without creating a folder with a project name and will only create the chosen tool folders (Documents and/or Photos) inside your manually created project folder . Please refer to the screenshot below, with or without the check box.
6. Once the location is selected please click on Add Project button to add your project.
7. Repeat the process to add a new project.
2. Sync Company level documents:

2. In the window that pops up, choose your Procore company first
3. On the right-hand side, select your drive.
4. Select the location folder where you would like to sync your company-level documents (In the example given below, in screenshot 2, the documents will be synced to PC GD Test folder that was manually created in Google Drive.
Please note that if you check the 'Create a Sub Folder with Procore Project Name' option, it will create two subfolders: one with your company name and another named 'Company Documents' within the root folder you've chosen for syncing your company documents."
4. Select the location folder where you would like to sync your company-level documents (In the example given below, in screenshot 2, the documents will be synced to PC GD Test folder that was manually created in Google Drive.
