Install the Google Drive App on Slack
To start using the Google Drive app on Slack, you first need to install it in your workspace. Once the app is installed, all members can connect their Google accounts to Slack and start enjoying the benefits of integrating these two platforms.
Pro Tip: If you’re an owner or administrator of an organization on Enterprise Grid, you can install Google Drive at the organization level and add it to the workspaces that need it from the admin dashboard.
Connect Your Google Drive Account
Every member who wants to use the Google Drive app must connect their Google account to Slack. If you find that your account is already connected, it means that the owners or administrators have enabled domain-level authentication, which allows for automatic login. It’s simple and convenient!
Use Google Drive in Slack
Now that you’ve connected your Google Drive account to Slack, you can take full advantage of all the features offered by this integration. You can create Google Drive files, share them with your colleagues and collaborators, and even view and respond to comments directly within Slack.
Pro Tip: If some members don’t have the necessary permissions to edit, view, or add comments to a shared Google Drive file, Slack will prompt you to adjust the permissions.
Manage Google Drive Notifications
When you connect your Google Drive account to Slack, you’ll automatically receive notifications from the app. This way, you’ll be notified when someone comments on one of your files, requests access to a file, or shares a file with you. You can easily enable or disable these notifications according to your preferences.
Pro Tip: You also have the option to manage notifications for specific files. This allows you to choose the updates you want to receive in Slack for each Google Drive file.
Manage Google Drive File Previews
When you connect your Google Drive account to Slack, files will be automatically shared with a detailed preview. However, if you prefer not to display these previews, you have the option to enable or disable them at any time.
Pro Tip: If you decide to disable file previews, you can still access them with just one click from Slack.
Disconnect Your Account
If you no longer want to use Google Drive in Slack, you can easily disconnect your account at any time. The app will not be uninstalled from your workspace, so you can reuse it in the future if desired.
Note: If your organization uses domain-level authentication, you can disconnect your Google Drive account, but you won’t be able to disconnect your Google account from Slack.
