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"]
