How do I connect to Google Drive as a web service in Canvas as a student?
The Google Drive web service allows you to integrate Canvas with your Google Drive account. All users can authorize their Google Drive accounts for access to Google collaborations.
If you need to create a new Google Drive account, please note that you may experience a delay with the Google integration in Canvas until Google has fully completed the account process.
Note: For any of your courses, if the Course Navigation Menu includes a Google Drive link, your institution or instructor has enabled a global Google Drive integration. You do not need to enable Google Drive as a web service.
Open User Settings
In Global Navigation, click the Account link [1], then click the Settings link [2].
Authorize Google Drive
Click the Authorize Google Drive Access button. You will be re-directed to Google to verify the authorization.
