⚠️ You see an "Access Warning"?

Don't worry - we are a compliant and secure platform. Google has some specific measurements that keep updating and we are sometimes a bit behind in doing that. It has nothing to do with our security, but purely with a system update from Google.

You can simply click on the text that says "Erweitert" or "Expanded" and then you click on "Along öffnen" or "Open Along" and you will be connected to your Google Drive.

Step 1:

Step 2:

Manage Google Drive to Slack connection

Simply go to your → Settings in your account. Click on → Integrations and then → Google Drive. From here you can connect your Google Drive account to Along.

⚠️ Important

  • One Google Drive account gets connected across your entire team in Along → Make sure the connected Google Drive account has access to all documents (e.g. an Admin)

  • Only admin members in your Along team can connect or disconnect the Google Drive integration

  • The integration to Google Drive allows you to share beautifully embedded content from your Google Drive in an Alongspace, which enables easily readable documents for an optimal experience

  • Make sure that all shared documents are shared with the view settings set to “Anyone with the link”, so that all people can view the content without any problems
