How to enable and use the Google Drive integration

Overview

The Google Drive integration allows you to browse your Google Drive account and grab links to your files directly from Front's composer.

Like other integrations, you need to be an admin in order to enable the Google Drive integration.


Instructions

Step 1

Click the gear icon on the top right of Front and into the Company settings tab, and select Integrations from the left menu.

Step 2

Select Google Drive from the list of integrations. Click to the Settings section and toggle on Enabled.

Step 3

Click Save to finish enabling the Google Drive integration.

Step 4

Now you will see a paperclip at the bottom of the email composer window. Click the paperclip, and Attach from Google Drive.

Step 5

The first time you use Attach from Google Drive, you will be required to sign in to Google from Front using your Google credentials.

Then you will be asked if you allow Front to use Google. Click Allow.

Step 6

You will be redirected to your Google Drive files.

Step 7

Select the file(s) you wish to attach, and click Choose. It will get added to your draft.

    Steve, I see. Unfortunately that's not possible right now, but it is on our roadmap.

    Hi! 

    Is it possible to save an attachment directly to our connected Google Drive account, without having to download it locally and then upload it again? 

    Thanks!

    Hi Clément

    At this time there's no way to save directly to Google Drive. I will share this as a feature request with our Product team, though.

    Hi Cori Morris,

    Do you have an ETA on when we will be able to use Google Shared Drives (aka Team Drives) from Front?

    Any update on when Google Team Drives will work? This is a big issue for us!
