Authenticate with Google Drive

Each person who wants to use the Power-Up will need to authenticate their Google Drive account from within Trello.

To authenticate the Power-Up with your Google drive account:

  1. Open any card

  2. Click the Google Drive button under Power-Ups

  6. Click Allow

If you get stuck during authentication, visit your Google Account’s third-party connections page and remove Trello’s access, then try authenticating again from Trello.

Be sure the See, edit, create, and delete only the specific Google Drive files you use with this app option is checked.
