Excerpt

Administrators can adjust how the Team Files Google Drive Connector app works to meet your team's needs and comply with company policies. 

...

As the name implies, these settings are only visible to users with Administrator privileges. All the settings on this page are accessible by entering Confluence settings and clicking on the "Team FilesGoogle Drive Connector" link on the sidebar under the "Configuration" section.

...

By default, users can connect folders from all the storage places supported by the Team Files Google Drive Connector app.

Administrators can easily restrict the usage of specific storage places to ensure that the usage of the Team Files Google Drive Connector aligns with the company policies.

...

  1. Click the "Places" tab on the Team Files Google Drive Connector settings page.

  2. Click the switch on the storage places you want to disable.

  3. The switch changes to the off position to indicate the storage place was disabled, and users can no longer connect folders from that storage place.

...

Note

What happens to places the users connected before the Admin disabled them?

If a user connected a folder from a storage place that the Admin later disables, it is blocked inside the Team Files Google Drive Connector app. All connected folders from that place are blocked too, and if there are attached folders and files from a blocked storage place, the content won't be visible, and they'll display a warning mentioning the Admin blocked the access.

...

  1. Click the "Places" tab on the Team Files Google Drive Connector settings page.

  2. Click the switch on the disabled storage place you want to re-enable.

  3. The switch changes to the on position to indicate the storage place is enabled, and users can connect folders from that storage place again.

Authentication method

The Team Files Google Drive Connector app requires user authentication by default to view connected folders and preview and edit attached items. Admins can change this to simplify sharing if there aren't specific user permissions from the cloud storage that need to be replicated on Confluence.

...

This option is the default setting for new Confluence instances, and admins can apply it to existing ones.
Users need to authenticate to browse connected folders and preview and edit files. Permissions set for users on storage places are applied on Confluence.

Require SharePoint and OneDrive authentication for edit (Legacy)

By selecting this option, admins can set the Team Files app to apply editing permissions for users from SharePoint and OneDrive.
Users can browse connected folders and preview files and need to sign in with their Office 365 accounts to edit files, so each user has the correct permissions.

Simplified sharing, no authentication required

Admins can select this setting to simplify sharing if there aren't advanced permissions requirements.
Users can browse connected folders and preview and edit files without authenticating on the original storage. Only permissions set on Team Files Google Drive Connector and Confluence are applied.
