Connected accounts: sign-in and cloud imports

The information Sortify receives through connected accounts, how it is used and how to remove a connection.

Written by Dylan Rihan

Signing in with Google or Apple. When you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your name, email address and account ID from that account, plus your profile photo if you use Google, as our Privacy Policy explains. We do not get access to your files or anything else in that account.
​

To stop signing in this way, go to Account settings > Authentication and, under Sign-in methods, choose Disconnect. You can do this only if you also sign in with your email address or the other provider; a passkey alone is not enough.
​

Importing from Google Drive, Dropbox or Box. To import files and folders into a Team, choose Upload or import, pick the service under Import from, then choose Connect account. The connection belongs to your user account, not to the Team. We use it only to show you your files and import the ones you choose, and we never change or delete anything stored there.
​

Removing a connection. You can remove a connection at any time:

  • In Sortify: open the import window for that service and choose Disconnect account.

  • At the provider: remove Sortify from your connected apps in your Google Account, your Dropbox settings or your Box account settings.

Deleting your Sortify user account removes all your connections. To remove Sortify from the Google or Apple account you sign in with, including after deleting your Sortify account, use that company's account settings.
​

Files you have already imported. Removing a connection does not delete files you have already imported; they stay in the Team like any other file. To remove them, delete them in Sortify, then choose Delete permanently in Recently deleted. Permanently deleted files normally leave our backups within 14 days, as our Privacy Policy explains.
​

Google user data. Sortify's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. Files imported from Google Drive, and anything derived from them, are never used to develop, improve or train generalised AI or machine-learning models.
