With the Upsales Google Drive integration, you can access relevant company documents stored in your Google drive right from the company card.
This article explains the process for connecting your Google Drive and Upsales accounts, which includes steps by the Administrator and steps by each user.
- The Administrator must activate the app for your company's Upsales account.
- The Users must each:
- Activate the Google Drive app on their own Upsales profiles and accept the terms.
- Connect and authenticate their own Google Drive location.
Once the Google Drive app is activated and connected, users will be able to connect a specific Google Drive folder for their companies and attach those documents to Company cards.
Note: Other users who view the Company card can only view the attached Google Drive documents if they also have access to that Google Drive folder.
Activating the Google Drive app for All Users (Administrator)
The Administrator of the account activates the Google Drive app before users can activate their personal access to use this app.
To activate the Google Drive app, complete the following steps:
- Select the Settings icon in the upper right corner of your Upsales screen.
- Select App directory.
- From the Apps list, select Google Drive.
- On the Google Drive screen, select Activate.
The Google Drive app has been activated and published to the team. Each user will need to activate the app on their own profiles and connect their own Google Drive accounts.

Connecting a Google Drive Folder to a Company
Once you have activated and connected your Google Drive, you can connect that cloud storage to a specific company.

If you need to change which folder is attached to a Company card, you can disconnect it and re-connect a different one.
