How do I set up and share Google Drive files?
During a training, organizers can share a file hosted in their Google Drive and collaborate with attendees in real time.
Organizers must have a
Google account in order to use this feature. Attendees do not need an account for either
GoTo Training or Google.
Note: Organizers can complete this process before or during the session, but it is highly recommended that it is set up before.
- Start an instant session.
- Select Share
> Google Drive. - Sign in to your Google account. If prompted, grant GoTo Training access to your Google account.
- This automatically creates a GoTo Training folder in your Google Drive. Any documents uploaded or added to that folder will appear in this window. Alternatively, you can create a new Google file or select Manage Google files to open the page in a new browser.
- When you're ready to share a file, select Share. If you are running breakout rooms, you will be prompted to Share in all rooms or in the room you're currently in.
Results: You can review the completed files with attendees in the main session by opening the file and sharing your screen. Once the session is over, you can access the final file in the
GoTo Training folder in Google Drive and share directly with attendees.
