What permissions we request and why

When you connect a Google account, you'll see a permissions screen. Here's what we request and why.

Google Drive

Permission: See, edit, create, and delete all of your Google Drive files

Why: To copy files between your accounts, we need read/write access to Drive. This permission sounds broad, but remember — everything happens in your browser. We never receive your files.

Gmail (optional)

Permission: Read your email messages and settings

Why: For unified inbox and email search. We only read emails — we can't send or delete them.

Basic profile

Permission: See your email address and profile picture

Why: To show which account is which in the UI.
