  • Updated
  • In this article, we will show you how to setup Google Drive in your LMS

Note

Setting up Google Drive in the LMS will allow all students and teachers to access their personal Google Drive files and folders within the LMS. 

After they authorize their Google Drive account, students will be able to submit assignments from their Google Drive. At this time, StrongMind only supports Google Docs submissions.

Then teachers will be able to view and grade those assignments submitted from Google Drive.
