Integrate Google Drive with CosmoLex

In This Article…

You can forego CosmoLex native document storage and integrate your document storage with your Google Drive account.

Important

The integration works with a single Google Drive account, so be sure to choose an account accessible to everyone in your firm who requires access.

Enable Integration

To integrate Google Drive at the firm level:

From the left navigation panel, click Setup.
At the bottom of the Setup left navigation, click Apps.
On the Apps screen, in the Documents Apps section, click the Google Drive on/off slider.
The slider switches to On.

Important
Domain administrators of G Suite Business accounts must enable DriveApps domain policy for CosmoLex to initiate the integration. If it is disabled, the user will not be able to complete the integration. Support and Training staff can instruct users to contact the admins for assistance.
1. 1. Click Allow, or sign in to Google Drive as applicable.
  2. Click Back to CosmoLex.
From the Dashboard left navigation panel, click Setup.
From the Setup left navigation, click Firm Settings.
From the tabs atop the Firm Settings screen, click Firm Preferences.
Scroll to the bottom of the Trust Settings section.
From the Default Document App drop down, click Google Drive.
In the upper right corner, click Save.
Google Drive is your firm’s default document app.

Once you have integrated Google Drive at the firm level, any new files you create will be saved to the shared folder.
