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 “Google Drive” and authenticate

You can connect more Google accounts later from the file manager. Learn more

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.
