\n

Demos, versions, the final mix: many songs start and end in a Drive folder. It\u2019s convenient, close at hand, and shareable in a click. What often gets left for later is registration.<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s not always a lack of motivation. Filling in details and preparing the registration competes with what you really want to do: keep writing. And that \u201cI\u2019ll do it later\u201d keeps getting pushed back.<\/p>\n

\n

Now you can connect your Google Drive folder to Shamusic. You keep saving your music where you always do, and we prepare the registration for you to review and approve.<\/p>\n

\n

Your music stays in Drive. Registration starts in Shamusic.<\/h3>\n

\n

The idea is to respect how you work. You don\u2019t have to switch tools to organize your songs: you choose a Drive folder and Shamusic prepares each new song as a draft.<\/p>\n

\n

That doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s registered automatically. You stay in control of what to register, which authors are included, and how the rights are split.<\/p>\n

\n

If you\u2019ve ever wondered what to do when someone copies a song, in Someone copied my song<\/a> we go over what steps to take and what documentation to gather. This integration is designed to build registration into your workflow before you run into that problem.<\/p>\n

\n

How the Google Drive integration works<\/h3>\n

\n

1. Choose the folder you want to connect<\/h4>\n

\n

You decide which folder to connect. Shamusic only accesses that folder, and it does so in read-only mode: it can\u2019t edit, move, or delete your files.<\/p>\n

\n

You can disconnect it whenever you want.<\/p>\n

\n

2. Each new song arrives as a draft<\/h4>\n

\n

When you add a new song to the connected folder, Shamusic prepares a draft with genre, mood, instruments, and a description.<\/p>\n

\n

We\u2019ll notify you in the platform and by email so you can review it. That way, you don\u2019t start with every field empty each time you want to register a work.<\/p>\n

\n

3. Review the authors and the rights split<\/h4>\n

\n

Before approving the registration, you review who the authors are and what percentage belongs to each one.<\/p>\n

\n

This step is still in your hands. The integration prepares the draft, but it doesn\u2019t decide the authors or the split for you. Nothing is registered without your OK.<\/p>\n

\n

4. Approve and receive the certificate<\/h4>\n

\n

When you approve the registration, your work receives a certificate with date and time.<\/p>\n

\n

The difference is how you get there: your song starts in the folder where you already work and reaches Shamusic with information prepared for you to review.<\/p>\n

\n

What Shamusic can do with your folder<\/h3>\n

\n

Connecting a tool to your files deserves a clear explanation. In this case:<\/p>\n
