We would like to store our documents in our Google Team Drive and link them to WorkFront rather then uploading them directly. Is this possible? The instructions I have found on line look to be for individual documents or folders. Thanks Chris White CBM of America

Hi Chris, Our company uses Google Drive for storage, so we have linked both personal and Team Drive folders in the Documents tab (when we click on Add New > From Google Drive, we see both personal and Team Drives available to link). It has some limitations, but for the most part, it works well. You can upload documents via Workfront and they show up when you access your Drive, and vice versa. And Workfront acknowledges the Google sharing permissions, people who aren't granted access can't access the file, but they would know it exists, if they have been granted access to the Workfront Project. The one thing we noticed is with proofs - you can't move them into linked Drive folders without losing the Proof information, even though the proof still exists inside Workfront Proof. And you can't create Proofs inside of linked Drive folders consistently - sometimes it works, other times it doesn't show that a Proof has been generated, even though it lives in Workfront Proof. We do have an open support ticket regarding this behavior, but since we can't count on the Proof info staying attached to the file, we create all Proofs at the "Documents" level. Also, if you copy a project with linked Drive folders, you can't delete the linked Drive folders in the new Project - it throws an error, so you have to be sure to clear the Documents when copying the project. Hope this helps. :slightly_smiling_face: Kind regards! Sheri Sheri Whitten Gordon Food Service
