In order to prevent unauthorized access to private files, Vanta will only sync Google Docs from the shared drive titled Vanta policies (this drive name is case sensitive). Google Workspace admins must create this drive within Google for the connection to work successfully.

The person who connects the Google Drive integration must have Write permissions for the Vanta policies folder within Google Drive. If permissions are modified after integration setup, this may result in sync errors. It is recommended to verify user access permissions regularly and make adjustments as needed.
