When you connect a cloud storage account to All Cloud Hub, you are asked to grant certain permissions.
This page explains what permissions are requested, why they are needed, and what All Cloud Hub does and does not do with that access.
Why Permissions Are Required
All Cloud Hub is designed to let you work with your files directly from FilesVerse.
To do this, it needs permission to access your cloud storage account in ways that match the actions you choose to perform, such as viewing files, organizing folders, or transferring files between clouds.
Permissions are not used for background activity or automated changes.
Permissions All Cloud Hub Requests
When you connect a supported cloud storage account, All Cloud Hub requests permission to:
- View file and folder metadata such as names, paths, and sizes
- Read file contents so files can be displayed and transferred
- Create new files and folders when you copy or transfer items
- Modify existing files and folders when you rename or organize them
- Delete files only when you explicitly move or delete them
These permissions allow All Cloud Hub to act on your behalf only when you initiate an action.
Note
All Cloud Hub does not perform any file action unless you explicitly request it inside the dashboard.
Provider Permission Screens
Each cloud provider shows its own permission screen during connection.
- Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox use different wording
- The intent of the permissions is the same across providers
- Any visible differences are cosmetic rather than functional
All Cloud Hub documents the connection flow once because the user experience is effectively the same.
What All Cloud Hub Does Not Do
Even with permissions granted, All Cloud Hub does not:
- Access your files in the background without user action
- Make automated changes to your files
- Read or modify files you do not interact with
- Use your data for any purpose outside file management
All file actions are user-initiated and visible to you.
Permissions and File Actions
Permissions enable specific actions you choose, including:
- Renaming files and folders
- Moving or copying files within a cloud account
- Transferring files between different cloud storage accounts
- Syncing folders across clouds
If you never perform these actions, All Cloud Hub does not perform them for you.
Revoking Permissions
You can revoke permissions at any time by disconnecting a cloud account from All Cloud Hub.
When a cloud account is disconnected:
- All Cloud Hub immediately loses access to that account
- Files from that account disappear from FilesVerse
- No files are deleted or modified in the cloud provider
You can reconnect the same account later if needed.
Tip
If you are ever unsure about access, disconnecting and reconnecting an account is a safe way to reset permissions.
In Summary
All Cloud Hub requests permissions only to support actions you explicitly choose to perform.
Files remain stored in your cloud storage accounts at all times. All Cloud Hub does not access files in the background, make automated changes, or store file contents.
Permissions exist to give you control, not to take it away.
