## Specifying file types

You can select specific file types (MIME types). The available file types follow the Google Workspace and Google Drive specification.

[MIME types supported by Google Workspace and Google Drive](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/guides/mime-types?hl=en)

## Specifying file owners

You can detect files and folders of a specified owner by entering the owner's email address. Multiple addresses can be configured. Up to 50 email addresses can be set.

## Specifying shared drives

You can detect files and folders in a specified shared drive by specifying the Drive ID. The Drive ID can be found in the folder URL. Only top-level shared drives are supported; you cannot specify folder IDs.

## Running a sync

After saving, the filter settings apply at the next scheduled sync. Manual execution is also possible.

## Frequently asked questions

**Q.** Can I exclude specific Drive IDs?

**A.** The Google API does not support exclusion, so this is not possible by design. Instead, specify only the Drive IDs you want to detect.

**Example:**

Drive IDs to exclude: `driveA`, `driveB`

Drive IDs to detect: `driveC`, `driveD`

Drive ID list to configure: `["driveC", "driveD"]`
