StratEngine connects to cloud storage for two jobs: an export destination, where Export to Docs and memo exports are saved, and a synced folder, which feeds your private documents. Both are set up in Settings. Your export destination is personal; a synced folder is shared with your workspace and only admins can set one up. Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive work for both jobs. Box works only as an export destination: you can’t use it for a synced folder or for folder watch.
Anyone can connect their own export destination. Setting up a synced folder needs a workspace admin; see Sync a cloud folder.

​
Where connections live in Settings

Open Settings from the side menu. The connections area has three parts:
Settings showing Google Drive under Connected providers and as the Export destination, with Choose folder

​
Connect an export destination

1

Click Connect export destination

Under Export destination, click Connect export destination. A window opens listing the storage providers you can connect.
2

Pick a provider and sign in

Choose your provider and sign in to it in that window. Grant StratEngine the access it asks for.
3

Check the result

The window closes and you see Export destination connected successfully. The Export destination tile now shows the provider and Exports to provider root (default).
If nothing opens, your browser blocked the window and you’ll see Connection cancelled or popup blocked. Allow pop-ups for StratEngine and try again. See Troubleshooting.
You don’t have to set this up in advance. If you click Export to Docs without an export destination, StratEngine opens the same provider window first.

​
What gets exported where

StratEngine creates these folders the first time you export. Both go inside the export folder you choose below, if you set one, or at the top level of your storage otherwise. See Export a document and Export memos.

​
Choose an export folder

By default, exports go to the top level of your storage. To put them in a different folder (StratEngine creates its StratEngine/ folders inside it):
1

Click Choose folder

On the Export destination tile, click Choose folder (or Change folder if one is already set).
2

Paste the folder's URL

Open the folder in your storage provider in another tab and copy the URL from the address bar. Paste it into the field.
3

Click Save

The tile now shows Exports to: and the folder path.
To go back to the default, click Reset to root. Choosing an export folder works with Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive. With Box, exports go to the top level of your storage.

​
Switch to a different provider

While no export folder is set, the tile shows or connect a different provider. Click it to connect another provider as your export destination. Once you’ve chosen an export folder, the link is hidden; click Reset to root first if you want to switch.

​
Disconnect a provider

1

Find the provider

Under Connected providers, find the row for the provider.
2

Click Disconnect, then Confirm

Click Disconnect. The row asks Disconnect?. Click Confirm within a few seconds, or Cancel to keep it.
Only workspace admins see Disconnect, and they can disconnect any connection in the workspace, including synced folders. If you aren’t an admin and need a connection removed, ask an admin.
Disconnecting your export destination means Export to Docs and memo exports have nowhere to go until you connect one again. Files already exported stay in your storage.

​
Connection status

Each row under Connected providers has a dot: green means the connection is working, red means it needs attention. If a connection shows red, an admin can disconnect it so it can be connected again.
