Connect Google Drive
Use your Google Drive as a library and read your books without downloading them all to your phone.
Kevra can read the books you keep in Google Drive and show them as one more library. Your files stay in Drive.
Plus plan: connecting Google Drive needs the Plus plan.
How to connect it
- In the Library tab, tap the name at the top to open Your libraries and, at the bottom, Add a library.
- On Remote library, tap Add a library → Connect Google Drive.
- Your browser opens: choose your Google account and allow access to view your files.
- Go back to Kevra. The library is already in the list (if not, pull down to refresh).
- Open it and tap Choose folders to look only in the folders with books, or Sync now to look at your whole Drive.
Kevra keeps syncing in the background and emails you when it's done. More in Cloud libraries.
Note: if you don't see Connect Google Drive under Add a library, it isn't available for your account yet. In the meantime you can use another cloud, such as Dropbox or OneDrive.
What Kevra finds
Books (EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW3, FB2…), comics, PDF magazines and audiobooks (an M4B, or a folder of MP3s as a single audiobook).
Common questions
- Can Kevra delete or change my files? No: the connection is Read-only.
- Can I connect several Google accounts? Yes. When you connect the second one, Google lets you choose the account. Each one is a separate library.
- It says "Connection expired". On Remote library, open the library's ⋯ menu → Reconnect.
