Authenticating with Google Drive

Once the Power-Up is enabled for the board, each individual user will need to authenticate their Google Drive account from within Trello. To do that, open up a card, click the Google Drive button in the Power-Ups section on the back of the card, and select "Attach a File," "Attach a Folder," or "Create and Attach."

Using the Power-Up

You can access the Power-Up from the back of the card by clicking the Google Drive button in the Power-Up section. From there, select whether you want to attach a file or folder, or to create a Drive document and attach it to the card.

If you choose to attach a file, you'll be given the option to navigate through Google Drive's files or folders and select the file or folder you want to attach. The attached files will look like attached files uploaded directly to Trello, with the option to open those files in Drive.
