Quick answer

If your school has switched on Google Drive uploads, select Add from Google Drive (or Add from GDrive) wherever you add a file, such as Add Evidence of Learning in your Portfolio or a task or deadline upload. If you cannot see the button, ask your school admin to switch it on.

Add files from Google Drive

When your school has switched on Google Drive uploads, you can pick files straight from your Google Drive instead of downloading and re-uploading them.

Add a Google Drive file to your Portfolio

Your Portfolio has three tabs:

  • Timeline: your class activities in date order. You and your teachers can add to it.
  • Goals: learning goals added by you or your teachers.
  • Files: your files grouped by subject group. Work you submit in ManageBac+ is filed here automatically.
  1. Select Add Evidence of Learning at the top of the page, then Add from Google Drive.

    Add Evidence of Learning menu with Add from Google Drive
  2. In the window that opens, choose your Google account if you have more than one, then select Allow so ManageBac+ can see your Drive files.

  3. Find the file in My Drive or in files shared with you, select it, then select Select.

If it does not work

I can't see Add from Google Drive

Your school has not switched on Google Drive uploads. Ask your advisor or a school admin. Admins switch it on in Settings > Integrations > Partners > Google Upload.

The Google window opens and closes, or shows the wrong account

Sign in to the right Google account in the same browser first, allow pop-ups for ManageBac+, then try again.
