Google Drive

Link Google Drive files into a room's Files as live links — nothing is re-uploaded, and the room always opens the current version from Drive. Room owners, hosts and editors can attach files and create new Google Docs, Sheets and Slides; anyone can convert a room note into a Google Doc that lands in the room's Files.

How to attach Google Drive files​

  1. Open the room's Files.
  2. Select the Google Drive button in the header, or select + › Attach Drive files.
  3. Select Attach Google Drive file (Link an existing file).
  4. Sign in with Google the first time, then pick one or more files in the Google Drive picker.

The files are linked into the Files folder you have open.

How to create a Google Doc, Sheet or Slide​

  1. In the room's Files, open the Google Drive section.
  2. Select New Google Doc, New Google Sheet or New Google Slide.

The file is created in your Google Drive and attached to the room in the same step.

How to convert a note to a Google Doc​

  1. Open a note or page in the room.
  2. Select Export.
  3. Under Convert & attach to room, select Google Docs.

The note becomes a Google Doc in your Drive, named after the note, and is attached to the room's Files. The same menu downloads the note as PDF, Word (.doc) or Plain Text (.txt).

How to manage Google accounts​

  1. In the Google Drive section of the Files menu, select Manage.
  2. In Google Drive Accounts, select Connect new account to add another account, or the trash icon to remove one.

You can also remove an account in Profile settings › Connected apps.

note

When your company switches Google Drive off, the Drive buttons are hidden in rooms and nobody can connect a new account.
