Folder Picker
The folder picker is where you configure exactly which folders to sync from your Google Drive or OneDrive connector. You can add multiple folders from the same connector, each with its own settings.
Navigating the folder tree
When you open the folder picker, you see a tree view of your Drive or OneDrive root. Click the arrow next to any folder to expand it and see its subfolders. Click a folder name to select it for sync.
Selected folders are highlighted with a checkmark. You can select multiple folders from the same connector.
Per-folder settings
After selecting a folder, configure its sync settings in the panel on the right:
Recursive
If Recursive is enabled, Hubrix syncs all files in the selected folder and all its subfolders. If disabled, only files directly inside the selected folder are synced (not subfolders).
Enable Recursive for broad folder structures (e.g. a top-level "Docs" folder). Disable it for targeted, shallow syncs.
Sync schedule
Choose how often Hubrix checks for new or changed files:
| Schedule | Description |
|---|---|
| Every 15 minutes | Near-real-time sync |
| Every hour | Suitable for frequently updated folders |
| Every 4 hours | Good default for most use cases |
| Every 24 hours | For folders that update daily or less often |
| Weekly | For stable archives |
The sync schedule is per folder, not per connector. You can have one frequently updated folder syncing every hour while another syncs weekly.
Include glob patterns
Use include globs to limit which file types are synced from a folder. Examples:
*.pdf— sync only PDFs*.docx— sync only Word documentsreport-*.xlsx— sync only XLSX files whose names start with "report-"
Leave the field empty to sync all supported file types.
Exclude glob patterns
Use exclude globs to skip files that match a pattern. Examples:
*draft*— skip files with "draft" anywhere in the name*~— skip temporary filesarchive/*— skip files in an "archive" subfolder (requires Recursive to be enabled)
Exclude patterns are applied after include patterns. If a file matches both an include and an exclude pattern, it is excluded.
Adding multiple folders
To sync more than one folder from a connector, click Add folder in the connector settings. Each folder has its own schedule and glob configuration.
Adding many high-frequency folders (e.g. ten folders set to sync every 15 minutes) will generate a lot of sync activity. Use more frequent schedules only for folders that genuinely update often.
Removing a folder
To stop syncing a folder, click the Remove (trash) icon next to the folder in the connector settings. You will be prompted to choose whether to keep or delete the documents that were synced from that folder.
