The Google Drive web service allows you to integrate Canvas with your Google Drive account. All users can authorize their Google Drive accounts for access to Google collaborations and assignment uploads.

Note: For any of your courses, if the Course Navigation Menu includes a Google Drive link, your institution or instructor has enabled a global Google Drive integration. You do not need to enable Google Drive as a web service.

In Global Navigation, click the Account link [1], then click the Settings link [2].

Register Google Drive

In Web Services, click the Google Drive button.

Click the Authorize Google Drive Access button. You will be re-directed to Google to verify the authorization.
