How to integrate with Google Drive

Access your Google Drive documents without switching applications - share content across knowledge bases too!

Written by Aaron-Spencer

It's easy to access your Google drive files from within HowNow, by a few quick steps completing this all-important integration. To surface your materials from HowNow's search...

Select My Profile > Integrations then Connect, shown on the Google Drive card.

You'll then need to select the desired Google account you want to use, to connect your Calendar.

Note✨: Although usually instantaneous, sometimes integrations may require at least 24 hours to sync.

Once successful - the Disconnect button will show, and you can start searching for your documents (these will be the same ones you've been given permission on Google Drive to view).

Note: It's important to remember the following...

  • If you've already integrated your Google Drive, it will become disconnected, after disconnecting your Google Calendar.

  • You may see the message: "access token has expired", this occurs as an expected security measure, put in place by the OAuth 2.0 system used by providers such as Google or Microsoft. It's used to prevent data theft, therefore is beyond HowNow's control.
