Getting started [GD CD]
- Miguel Jesus
Take the very first steps to use the Google Drive Connector app for Confluence.
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, and 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 there's already a folder connected when you first open the app, that means someone in your team already shared a folder, and you can use that one or add more, 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 to.
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, any folder you connect will be visible and editable by your team. You can block edit options and downloads.
For more information, check the permissions page.
