Connect your first folder

You don't need to create an account to use the app. The only thing required is to connect at least one folder to the Jira project so that you can start collaborating with your team and build your single source of truth.

If a folder is connected when you first open the app, someone in your team has already shared a folder. You can use that one or add more by following the same steps.

Step 1: Click the "Connect folder" button

Step 2: Select the storage place where the folder you want to connect is and authenticate

You can connect a folder stored in SharePoint, OneDrive for Business, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, or Egnyte.

You can connect more places later from the file manager. Learn more

SharePoint tip: If you can’t see the site where your folder is, you can use the “Find site” button and enter your SharePoint address. More info

Step 4: Select the folder you want to connect

Use the checkbox to select the folder you want to connect.

We recommend connecting a folder where you and your team store your documents, but you can start with a new one by clicking the "New folder" button.

Tip: You can select multiple folders.

Step 5: Select permissions (optional)

Click the "Permissions" tab. By default, any folder you connect will be visible and editable by your team. If you want to limit access or block the edit feature, click the dropdown to change the permissions.
