Yes, RecordsKeeper.AI does allow specific folder selection for cloud storage synchronization, but with some important limitations to understand.

Current folder selection capability:

  • Specific folder sync: You can choose to sync specific folders rather than your entire cloud storage

  • One folder limitation: Only one primary folder can be selected per cloud storage connection

  • Technical constraint: This restriction comes from how most cloud storage APIs handle authentication and sync permissions

Workaround for multiple folders: If you need to sync multiple separate folders, here's the recommended approach:

  • Create a parent folder: Set up a main organizational folder in your cloud storage

  • Organize as subfolders: Move or link your desired content as subfolders within this parent directory

  • Sync the parent: Select this main folder when connecting to RecordsKeeper.AI

  • Access everything: All nested subfolders will be included in the synchronization

Why this matters: This approach gives you precise control over what gets synced while working within current technical limitations. You avoid accidentally syncing massive amounts of unnecessary data from large cloud storage accounts.

Storage management: By carefully organizing your sync structure before connecting, you can effectively manage your RecordsKeeper.AI storage allocation and ensure only relevant documents are processed and indexed.
