Getting started [GD JD]

Take the first steps to use the Google Drive Connector app for Jira Data Center.




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 link on Jira’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 Jira project so that you can start collaborating with your team and build your single source of truth.

If a folder is already connected when you first open the app, someone in your team has already shared a folder. You can use that one or add more, following the same steps.


Step 1: Click the "Connect folder" button


Step 2: Select the “Google Drive”

You can connect more places later from the file manager. Learn more

Connecting a Google Drive folder

 


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 already store your documents, but you can also 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 see and edit any folder you connect. You can block edit options and downloads.

For more information, check the permissions page.


Step 6: Click the "Connect" button.
