How to Integrate Google Drive with ReadyRedact

ReadyRedact integrates with Google Drive, making it easier to access and manage your cloud-stored documents as part of your redaction workflow. Connecting your Google Drive account takes just a few steps. Once connected, you can enable or disable the integration whenever needed without having to reconnect your account.

  1. Open the Integrations Tab
    • Log in to your ReadyRedact account.
    • Click the Settings (gear icon) in the upper-right corner of your dashboard.
    • Select Integrations from the dropdown menu.

This will take you to the Integrations page, where you can manage your cloud storage connections and other available integrations.

  1. Connect Your Google Drive Account
    • On the Integrations page, locate Google Drive under the cloud storage options.
    • Click the Connect button beneath the Google Drive logo.

ReadyRedact will redirect you to Google Drive to securely authorize the connection.

  1. Sign in to Google Drive
    • On the Google Drive login screen, enter the email address and password associated with your Google Drive account.
    • Follow the prompts to sign in.
    • If prompted, review and approve the permissions requested to connect Google Drive with ReadyRedact.

Note: Google handles the sign-in and authorization process. You do not enter your Google Drive password directly into ReadyRedact.

  1. Verify Your Google Drive Connection

Once you've successfully authorized the connection, you'll be redirected to the ReadyRedact Integrations page. You should now see the following changes in the Google Drive section:

    • A green status indicator next to Google Drive, showing that the account is connected.
    • A Disconnect button in place of the original Connect button.
    • An Enabled toggle indicating that Google Drive is available for use in ReadyRedact.

Your Google Drive account is now connected and ready to use with ReadyRedact!

  1. Enable or Disable the Connection

You can temporarily disable your Google Drive integration without disconnecting your account.

    • Navigate to Settings → Integrations.
    • Locate the Google Drive integration.
    • Click the toggle switch next to Enabled to change its status.
      • Enabled: Google Drive is available for use within your ReadyRedact projects.
      • Disabled: Google Drive is temporarily unavailable within ReadyRedact, but your account connection is retained.

Tip: If you only want to stop using Google Drive temporarily, disable the integration instead of disconnecting it. You can turn it back on at any time without repeating the authorization process.

  1. Disconnect Google Drive

If you no longer want your Google Drive account linked to ReadyRedact, you can disconnect it completely.

    • Navigate to Settings → Integrations.
    • Locate the connected Google Drive account.
    • Click Disconnect.

Disconnecting removes the Google Drive connection from ReadyRedact. If you decide to use Google Drive again in the future, you'll need to reconnect your account and complete the Google Drive authorization process. Important: Disabling and disconnecting are different actions. Disabling preserves your connection, while disconnecting removes it.
