Import files and folders from Google Drive
To import files and folders from Google Drive, drag and drop your item from your My Drive or Shared with me to the target folder in your Team Folder.
When files are imported to the Team Folder:

- all previous permissions on the files are kept if the Team Folder is configured with flexible permissions

To import files and folders, you can also press the Smartbar button Import into AODocs. When using this button:
– End-users and library administrators can import files and folders but these restrictions apply:
* they can import only files they own
* they can't import more than 10 folders and 100 files
– AODocs super administrators can import files and folders without any limitations
