Sync to Google Drive

Automatically save screenshots to Google Drive

Want your screenshots waiting for you in Google Drive? Stillio can save each one there the moment it is created. After you connect your account and the first file is added, a "Stillio" folder appears at the root of your Google Drive. Our app can only add files and folders and access what it created itself, so we cannot read, modify or delete anything else in your account.

Two steps get you there:

1. Connect Google Drive
2. Switch on syncing

Questions? Check the F.A.Q. at the bottom of this page.

Connect Google Drive

1. In your Stillio account, go to Settings > Apps.
2. On the Google Drive card, click Connect to open the Google login page.
3. Sign in to Google to link it with Stillio.

That's it, your Google Drive account is now linked to Stillio.

Switch on syncing

Go to Settings > Apps to turn saving to Google Drive on or off. Once your account is connected, the Google Drive card shows an Active switch. Turn it on, as shown below.

F.A.Q.

Frequently asked questions about syncing screenshots to your Google Drive account

How does Stillio connect to Google Drive?

We have registered an App at Google with limited permissions. A folder named after our app is created within the root folder of a user's Google Drive. Our app has read and write access to this folder and to the files that our app creates in it. More info in the Google documentation.

How can I revoke access for Stillio to Google Drive?

1. Go to your Google account to see the Apps with access to your account section. You might need to sign in.
2. Choose Stillio.
3. Choose "Delete all connections that you have with Stillio".

Can I change the filename and folder where it's saved?

• Filename: The first part is always the hostname. The second part of the filename can be changed by changing (or adding) a Title to your Webpage capture settings. The timestamp (yyyy-mm-dd-hh-ss) at the end of the filename cannot be changed.
• Folder: We create a folder called Stillio at the root of your Google Drive account. You are free to rename that folder or move it into a different folder, as we only store the unique identifier that's linked to the folder. When you (accidentally) delete the folder, we automatically create a new "Stillio" folder in your account as soon as a new screenshot is synced to it.

It doesn't work, how come?

If you cannot authorize the App, please check that your Google Drive account is still active. You can also click Reauthorize on the Google Drive card to connect again.

If files are not saved, please check that you have sufficient free disk space both on your computer and your Google Drive account.

Other reasons can be:

1. The filename is too long. You can shorten the file name by changing the Title field of your Webpage settings in Stillio.
2. The sync option has not been used for six months. In that case, the authorization expires. Click Reauthorize on the Google Drive card to renew it.
3. None of the above. Please contact us with as many details as you can.

How many files/folders can the "Stillio" folder contain?

As indicated by Google, the "Stillio" folder we create on your Google Drive account can contain up to 500,000 files/sub-folders. When you have reached that limit, we will halt the sync operations but here's how you can resume it:

1. Copy the current "Stillio" folder to another location e.g "Stillio old" folder.
2. Delete (not moving to trash) the "Stillio" folder.
3. Switch on the Google Drive sync again on your account.
4. A new "Stillio" folder is created and new screenshots are synced there.
