2. Connect Your Google Account

After installing the Google Drive app, each team member who wants to use the integration must connect their Google account to Slack. This process is straightforward and only requires a few clicks. Simply click on the Google Drive app in Slack, select "Connect Google Drive," and follow the prompts to authenticate your account.

3. Grant Necessary Permissions

To integrate Google Drive with other apps, it's essential to grant the necessary permissions for the Google Drive app in Slack. This includes allowing the app to access your Google Drive files and folders. Workspace owners and admins can manage these permissions at the organization level, ensuring that the integration is set up correctly for all users.

By following these three simple steps, you'll have the Google Docs Slack integration up and running in no time. This integration offers numerous benefits, such as improved collaboration, quick access to files, and seamless sharing of documents within Slack.

Sharing Google Docs in Slack Channels and DMs

Once you've set up the Google Docs Slack integration, sharing files between the two platforms is a breeze.

Plus, Slack automatically checks and notifies you about file permissions to ensure smooth collaboration.

1. Share Existing Google Docs in Slack

To share an existing Google Doc in a Slack message, simply click the "+" icon next to the message field and select "Google Drive." Choose the file you want to share, add a message if desired, and send it to the relevant channel or direct message.
