Take the very first steps to use the Google Drive Connector app for Confluence.
- 1 Open the Google Drive Connector app
- 2 Connect your first folder
Open the Google Drive Connector app
You can install the Google Drive Connector app from the Atlassian Marketplace, then open it by clicking the Google Drive Connector link on Confluence’s sidebar. It's ready to use.
Connect your first folder
You don't need to create an account to use the app. The only thing required is to connect at least one folder to the Confluence Space so that you can start collaborating with your team and build your single source of truth.
If a folder is connected when you first open the app, someone in your team has already shared a folder. You can use that one or add more by following the same steps.
Step 1: Click the "Connect folder" button
Step 2: Select “Google Drive” and authenticate
You can connect more Google accounts later from the file manager. Learn more
Step 3: Navigate to where the folder you want to share with your team is
Step 4: Select the folder you want to connect
Use the checkbox to select the folder you want to connect.
We recommend connecting a folder where you and your team store your documents, but you can start with a new one by clicking the "New folder" button.
Tip: You can select multiple folders.
Step 5: Select permissions (optional)
Click the "Permissions" tab. By default, your team can view and edit any folders you connect. If you want to limit access or block the edit feature, click the dropdown to change the permissions.
For more information, check the permissions page.
