Google
Drive
is a
file storage
platform
that
enables you to
store,
share and
collaborate
on
files and
folders.
Within Teamwork.com, you can
integrate your site with Google
Drive
before enabling it for individual
projects.
Note: Only site
administrators in
the owner company can enable Google Drive
at
site and project level.
Enabling the Google Drive
integration at site level will not
result in
any file syncing. This is done at project
level.
How does the Google Drive integration work?
Google Drive will be enabled by
default for your site but will
require
configuration before it can be
used.
When enabled but not configured,
Google Drive will still be
visible in the Files area of the
project and when creating a
task.
If a non-admin user clicks the
Google
Drive option, they will be
informed that
it requires setup by an
administrator.
When an owner company site
administrator
clicks the Google Drive option, they
will
be given an option to Go to
Settings to manage the
integration.
How do I manage the Google Drive integration?
Click your profile avatar in the top right corner of your site and
select Apps and
integrations from the
pop-out menu.
In the Integrations area,
scroll to the Google Drive
section. Google Drive will be
enabled but
not
authorized by default. You can
continue with the authorization
process in order to use the
integration with your
projects.
To prevent the Google
Drive option being visible across
your projects, click
the Disable option.
How do I configure Google Drive?
Step
1: Enable
If Google Drive is not currently
enabled,
click the Enable button to
get
started.
Note: If you
wish to link a Google team drive
instead you can follow these steps.
Step 2: Authorize
Click the Authorize
Access button to sign in
to
your relevant Google Drive
account.
You will be redirected to the Google
login view where you will need to sign
in
with your Google credentials and grant
Teamwork.com access to your Google
account.
Step 3: Select Google Drive
folder
Once you have completed the
authorization, the final step is
to
choose a top level folder. This
allows
you to control which files in your
Google
Drive account are accessible
from
Teamwork.com.
In the folder selection modal, you
can
choose one of your existing folders to
link as the root top level folder
across
your site. Alternatively, click
the Create Folder option
at
the bottom of the modal to add a new
one.
Once you are viewing the
relevant folder, click Select
this
Folder to proceed.
When configuring at
project
level, you will be able to set
the
same root folder or any of the
folders contained within it as the
project-level
folder.
- You can then link in files
directly
from your Google Drive to the Files area of
the project or attach them to
tasks,
comments, or messages.
