Terms of Service
Effective date: September 22, 2026
1. Service
Shao Drive Sync is a self-hosted utility for user-authorized file synchronization, backup, archival and Google Drive access. The service may use rclone as its synchronization engine.
2. Google authorization
The service accesses Google Drive only after the Google account owner grants permission through Google's OAuth authorization flow. The permissions presented by Google define the maximum access available to the application.
3. User responsibility
Users are responsible for the accounts, Drive content, folders, synchronization jobs and retention or deletion rules they authorize. Users should review the OAuth permissions and maintain backups appropriate to their own needs.
4. Acceptable use
The service may not be used for unlawful activity, unauthorized access, infringement, malware distribution, or abuse of Google services or other third-party systems.
5. Availability
The service is provided on an as-available basis. Continuous availability, uninterrupted synchronization or error-free operation is not guaranteed. Google APIs, Google Drive, rclone, network connectivity, and other dependencies may change or become unavailable independently of this service.
6. Third-party services and trademarks
Google Drive and Google APIs are third-party services subject to Google's own terms and policies. rclone is an independent open-source project. References to Google or rclone describe interoperability only and do not imply sponsorship or endorsement.
7. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the service operator is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from outages, synchronization errors, user-configured deletion, third-party service interruption, or loss of access to external services.
8. Privacy
Use of Google user data is governed by the Privacy Policy.
9. Changes
These Terms may be updated as the service changes. Continued use after publication of updated terms constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by applicable law.
