Google Drive is a natural source of leases, scopes, invoices, inspection photos, settlement statements, and owner documents.
REI Operate does not need to rip Drive out on day one. The first question is which folders and documents are useful enough to bring into the operating system.
Some workflows only need guided document review. Others may need a direct API connection when reliability, speed, or repeatability matters.
Every connection should have a clear permission scope and a clear reason to exist.
