Prerequisites & Permissions

• Only Accord admins can add or modify content in the Resource Library. Check your permissions before following the setup instructions below.

The Resource Library & Google Drive

The Google Drive integration is most frequently used to is to manage content in the Resource Library. It allows you to easily add Files and Folders from Google Drive to the Resource Library, and ensure they are synched. 

When a Resource is linked from Google Drive to Accord's Resource Library you will see a green icon indicating that it is a connected resource.

In addition, on the Resource page itself, you'll see a synched from Google Drive indicator, and the last time the file was updated. This will be modified each time the file or folder is updated.

Any changes made to Google Drive files or folders are automatically synched every 24 hours. You can force these files to update faster by selecting the Refresh option in the Resource Library.
