Google Drive enables file storage and sharing capabilities. You can embed any file from Google Drive by following the setup instructions below. To embed folders from Google Drive, additional configuration is needed, which is detailed later in this guide.

  3. Click + Embed app. You’ll land on the app’s setup page.
  4. Assign a name and icon to the app, then configure visibility settings for clients.
