Updates to our Google Drive integration
Our Google drive integration is powered by Google's SDK. This means the experience looks and feels a little different but it also unlocks more power and flexibility.
To connect to Google Drive, Admins can select Integrations from the left-hand bar and request access.
What's New
Instant access to all your Drives
You can now open your Drive and Shared Drives instantly
No connection setup
Just sign in with Google when prompted when adding a file to a widget
A new Google Picker interface
The Picker might look a bit dated, but it comes with powerful search, filter and sorting options to help you find files faster.
Files added to your trumpet content library
When you select a file, it’s automatically copied into your trumpet content library. That way, it’s always accessible (regardless of Drive sharing settings) and ready to use across all your pods.
Manual refresh for updates
If you update a file in Drive, just refresh it from your content library - that update will then roll out everywhere the file is used.
A Quick Note on Sign-Ins
With the Google Picker, you’ll be asked to sign in to your Google account each time you use it.
We know this might feel like an extra step, but it’s actually a security benefit:
trumpet never handles or stores your Google authentication details.
All authentication is managed directly by Google, keeping your data safe and compliant.
We’ll continue to explore ways to streamline this in the future, but for now this setup ensures maximum security.
