Google Workspace - Hazel Can't Make Changes to Shared Drives
Posted: Thu Feb 26, 2026 2:59 pmHi all,
I am a Google Workspace user, and we recently rolled out Shared Drives in the company.
What seems to be happening is that Hazel does not have the rights to make any changes to any files that are in a Shared Drive. It takes the action, for instance renaming a file, but then the file is very quickly automatically renamed back to its original name.
I have manager permissions in the Shared Drive. I've tried to also make the folders available offline, and I've also activated in the rule the option to first download the file if it is a cloud file. None of that seems to be making a difference. Seems to be an issue related to permissions. Anything I can do to make this work?
Thanks
