Google Drive And OneDrive In Kamo

If your organization uses Google Workspace (Gmail) or Microsoft 365 (Outlook) for email, Kamo can also share files straight from your Google Drive or OneDrive. Your Kamo docs keep working exactly the same; this just adds your Google or Microsoft files on top.

What You Can Do

Once it's set up:

• Pick Drive files in the composer. Insert Doc gets a Google Drive or OneDrive tab next to your Kamo docs.
• Drop big files into Drive. While you drag a file onto the composer, a Google Drive or OneDrive target appears. Drop it there and Kamo uploads it to your Drive and sends a link.
• Share without the extra email. When you send, Kamo gives the people on your email access to the file. Google and Microsoft don't send them their own separate "shared with you" email.
• See shared files clearly. When someone sends you a Google Docs or OneDrive link, Kamo shows it as a card that tells you whether you can open it.
• Save attachments to Drive. On an email you received, Save To Drive or Save To OneDrive puts the attachment in your Drive.

Your Drive's own sharing rules still apply. If Google or Microsoft won't let a file go to someone, the Access Check tells you why in plain words. See The Access Check.

One-Time Setup For Google Workspace

You need to be an administrator of your organization's Google Workspace. It takes about five minutes.

In Kamo:

1. Go to Settings, then E-Mail, then Email Provider Setup, and open your Google Workspace card.
2. Find the Drive & Files section. Copy the client ID shown there, and copy the scopes line.

In Google:

1. Sign in to the Google Admin console (admin.google.com).
2. Go to Security, then Access and data control, then API controls, then Manage Domain Wide Delegation.
3. Find the entry for Kamo's client ID (it's already there if Kamo sends your email), and click Edit. If there's no entry, click Add new and paste the client ID.
4. In OAuth scopes, paste both scopes together, separated by a comma, exactly like this:

https://mail.google.com/,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive

Paste both. Google keeps a single list of scopes per client ID, so if you paste only the Drive one, Kamo can no longer send your email.

1. Click Authorize.
2. Make sure the Google Drive API is turned on. Kamo's Drive & Files section has a link that opens the right page in Google Cloud; click Enable there if it isn't already on.

Back in Kamo:

1. Click Check. When it shows connected, you're done. Google can take a few minutes to apply the change, so if it still says something is missing, wait five minutes and click Check again.

One-Time Setup For Microsoft 365

You need to be an administrator of your organization's Microsoft 365 (a Global Administrator, or someone allowed to grant admin consent).

In Kamo:

1. Go to Settings, then E-Mail, then Email Provider Setup, and open your Microsoft 365 card.
2. Find the Drive & Files section.

In Microsoft:

1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center (entra.microsoft.com).
2. Go to App registrations and open the app your organization uses for Kamo email.
3. Click API permissions, then Add a permission, then Microsoft Graph, then Application permissions.
4. Search for Files.ReadWrite.All, tick it, and click Add permissions.
5. Click Grant admin consent for your organization and confirm. The status should turn to a green tick.

Kamo's Drive & Files section also has a link that opens the admin consent page for you.

Back in Kamo:

1. Click Check. When it shows connected, you're done.

Good to know: Kamo only ever opens a member's own OneDrive, or files shared with them, even though Microsoft's permission is broader. Because of how Microsoft's permission works, a couple of views (Shared With Me and SharePoint sites) may show a short note instead of files.

Personal Gmail Or Outlook Accounts

If your mailbox in Kamo is a personal Gmail or Outlook account rather than a company one, there's no administrator setup. The first time you use Google Drive or OneDrive in Kamo, click Connect and allow Kamo access to your files in the window that opens.

If The Check Says Something Is Missing

• The Drive permission isn't authorized — step 6 (Google) or steps 5 to 7 (Microsoft) weren't saved. Do them again.
• The Drive API is turned off — do step 8 (Google).
• No mailbox — the member doesn't have a Google or Microsoft mailbox connected in Kamo yet.

Everyday Example

Your team keeps its listing photos in Google Drive. After the setup, an agent drags a 2 GB folder of photos onto the email, drops it on Google Drive, and the buyer gets a link they can open, with no "file too large" bounce.
