Filevine Google Drive sync, both ways.
MatterOrbit mirrors every Filevine matter into My Drive and Shared Drive folders and keeps both sides current. Edit a document in Filevine and it lands in Google Drive; edit it in Google Drive and it lands back in Filevine. Filevine stays the system of record. MatterOrbit is a certified Filevine integration, listed in the Filevine marketplace and built on Filevine's official partner API.

The folder structure inside a matter is preserved exactly as it exists in Filevine.
Map
Each Filevine project maps to a location in Google Drive. The folder tree inside the matter is mirrored as is.
Detect
Changes on either side arrive by webhook. If a webhook is missed, a 5-minute poll catches it, and a nightly sweep reconciles everything else.
Resolve
When the same document changes on both sides at once, the conflict policy your firm chose is applied and recorded.
Verify
Every transfer is hash-verified before the audit record is written. Failed operations retry with backoff.
Five conflict strategies, no silent overwrites
When the same document changes in Filevine and Google Drive at once, MatterOrbit applies the policy your firm chose, and records what it did.
Last-writer-wins
The default. The most recent change is kept. Predictable, and right for most matters.
Filevine-authoritative
Filevine always wins a tie. Use it when Filevine is the system of record for drafting too.
Google Drive-authoritative
Google Drive wins a tie. Use it when the team drafts in Google Drive.
Version-both
Both versions are kept and the loser is renamed, so no work is ever lost.
Manual review
The conflict lands in a queue in the MatterOrbit dashboard for a person to settle.
Loop prevention
Every write MatterOrbit makes into Google Drive carries sync-source metadata, so the inbound webhook for that same write is recognized and short-circuits instead of bouncing back to Filevine.
Built for firms that live in Google Drive
Firms standardized on Google Workspace
If the firm runs on Gmail, Docs and Drive, every matter gets a live mirror in My Drive or a Shared Drive.
Co-counsel on Google Workspace
Referral partners keep working from a Shared Drive that stays aligned with the matter, both directions, with no Filevine login needed.
Firms that want an off-platform copy
A continuously updated Google Drive copy of every matter document is a working backup outside Filevine.
Set up the Google Drive connector
Every firm starts with a short setup call. We scope your Google Drive location, your backfill volume and the conflict policy your firm wants before billing begins. Standard mirror setup, your current Filevine structure copied into a fresh Google Drive location, is included. Mapping work with exceptions, content that must live on one side only, or folders that need restructuring before the sync, is scoped and quoted first.
MatterOrbit connects through the Google Drive API with least-privilege scopes under MatterOrbit's own credentials, so it runs on dedicated rate limits rather than a firm's key. SOC 2 Type 2 controls apply, the same standard Micronetbd holds for every client.

Filevine Google Drive sync questions
How fast does a change in Filevine show up in Google Drive?
Most changes land near real time through webhooks. If a webhook is missed, a 5-minute poll catches it, and a nightly reconciliation sweep checks everything else.
What happens if the same file changes in Filevine and Google Drive at once?
MatterOrbit applies the conflict policy your firm chose: last-writer-wins by default, or Filevine-authoritative, Google Drive-authoritative, version-both, or manual review. Every decision is recorded in the audit trail.
Is this an official Filevine integration?
Yes. MatterOrbit is a certified Filevine integration, listed in the Filevine marketplace and built on Filevine's official partner API. Filevine stays the system of record throughout.
Is setup included?
Standard mirror setup, mirroring your current Filevine structure into a fresh Google Drive location, is included. Mapping work with per-matter-type exceptions or folder restructuring is scoped and quoted on the setup call.
Do you use our own Google API key?
No. MatterOrbit connects through the Google Drive API with least-privilege scopes under its own credentials, so it runs on dedicated rate limits instead of borrowing the firm's key.
My Drive, Shared Drives, or both?
Both, each aligned with the matching Filevine project in both directions.
