How to Connect your Google Drive

To connect your Google Drive to Skipper, go to your profile page located in account settings.

  1. On your profile page, navigate down the page to Connect Accounts.

  2. Click the Connect button for Google Drive.

  3. Select the Google account to connect to Skipper (you may not see this option)

  4. Next, you will see a screen that states Google hasn't verified this app. This is shown because we are in Beta and not open to the public.

✨ Pro-Tip: To connect your child's Google drive to their Skipper account, you must log into their account and connect the Google account from your child's profile page. You easily log into their account by impersonating your child.

Click the "Advanced" link

After you click "Advanced" you will see a link "Go to Skipper.io (unsafe)"

The link states Skipper is unsafe only because Google hasn't verified us due to not being open to the public.

Click "Go to Skipper.io"

πŸŽ‰ Your account is now connected to Google Drive.

Now, when you open the upload file box, you will see your Google Drive. Click the Google Drive icon to view your files.
